A grey heron has been spotted searching for Easter bargains outside Thamesmead Wilkos.
The majestic creature was photographed in the car park this afternoon, on its way into the home improvement store.
@eliotsmith, who photographed the winged beast, said: "Saw this grey heron in Thamesmead just now - not even the slightest bit scared of cars."
It is believed that this is the same heron pictured at the Cannon Retail Park in May, due to it using the zebra crossing again.
It has been reported that this grey heron has now employed two starlings, also pictured to help carry its bags back to the nest.
