United Kingdom · observation
Just SW of Tamesis Dock. Roughly equidistant between Lambeth Bridge and Vauxhall Bridge.
· London
Observer description: Head and back. Nostrils above water and whiskers were clear to see. Black eyes. Smooth head. Back was slate grey and smooth. Observer notes: I was surprised to see it at first. I saw it for less than a minute. It was facing north just above the surface of the water. I assume it was breathing air in before diving down again.
