March 22nd

 

Greylags awkward steps

Safe from the shrunk back river

Bankside mud shimmers

 

I had some time at Waterloo station, prior to my connecting train leaving for Bracknell, so I wandered down to the Thames. It was a gorgeous day. The river, I guess due to the dry winter, seemed less “full” than normal. It could have been tidal of course, I don’t know much about such things, but it meant a bank of mud was revealed and allowed birds to promenade along it. These two Greylag Geese seemed slightly out of place, like tourists visiting the big city for the first time. They wandered up and down, taking in the scenery.
