a shock

i was walking on the south bank from battersea towards vauxhall this afternoon when some squabbling seagulls dropped this poor young eel at my feet

it's proper name is/was anguilla anguilla

blimey ! some of them are ten feet high !

... so i think it must be hogweed rather than angelica

 

looks tasty !
