The tide was up high at Blackfriars with not much foreshore visible. I decided instead to focus on recording the sounds of the foreshore, the waves splashing, the seagulls and crows fighting over the remains of something, the buskers playing music, and the sounds of trains going across Blackfriars railway bridge.

The sun turned a beautiful shade of pinky red and I could see it underneath Blackfriars Bridge.

I picked up very little, two pottery sherds and two pieces of glass.

I bought a UV torch as I like the idea of finding a piece of uranium glass. So far, none of my pieces of glass seem to glow enough but the red pieces look particular pretty with the light on them.

Mudlarking finds - 34
I wired up the doorbell I found on the foreshore so that when you press it, it plays sounds of the River Thames I recorded from the foreshore.
