A grey heron was spotted doing a spot of yoga next to Richmond Park’s Adam’s Pond this morning.

The bird, which attracted a huge amount of attention from birdwatchers, dog walkers and children, seemed to be making the most of the morning sun.

A small crowd of people gathered round the adult heron to take pictures and imitate its pose.

He remained motionless for 30 minutes before finally relaxing into a more orthodox position and taking off towards Roehampton Gate.
