In the section of water alongside the London Eye
· London
Observer description: As per the videos. It would poke its head above water for 10-20 seconds then gracefully dive down. Observer notes: It spent the whole time going first upstream then downstream and then upstream between Westminster bridge and Charing Cross bridge. We were spending the afternoon on Tattershall Castle so best ever sight to watch with a few glasses of wine! Was still there when we left.
