One of the joys of spending time in the kitchen is perhaps ironically the opportunity to look out of the window. I'm lucky to be able to see a few bushes and trees and a patch of grass. This morning whilst having my breakfast I noticed two rather chubby squirrels chasing each other around one of the trees and their little game continued for a good ten minutes entertaining me and @potoft to the extent that my cup of tea and croissant went cold. I was able to take a couple of photos, but wasn't able to get a photo of both squirrels together, as their game meant they kept to opposite sides of the tree, and were a bit too fast for my lens.
Just in the time I was having my breakfast and then loading the dishwasher I noticed quite a few creatures:
- 2 Squirrels
- 1 Woodpigeon
- 1 Jay
- 1 Chaffinch
- 1 Robin
This set me thinking of all the animals I've seen in Wapping, and most were but a short walk from my front door. My quick list of animals is below, but I'm bound to have missed others and I wonder what others have seen and all within an inner city area.
- Foxes
- Crabs
- Kingfishers
- Mallards
- Peregrine falcons
- Moorhens
- Herring gull
- Various terns and oteher gulls
- Heron
- Greylag geese
- Egyptian geese
- Cormorant
- Moorhen
- Coot
