About Wildlife of the Tidal Thames

The Tidal Thames runs from Teddington Lock to the North Sea. This section of the river is rich in wildlife and provides a haven for birds (breeding and migratory), wildflowers, insects, mammals and fish.

There is again talk of the possibility of building a new airport in the Thames Estuary. According to the Kent Wildlife Trust, 'the Thames [and Medway estuaries] are extremely rich in wildlife and are internationally important for nature conservation. An airport here, whether coastal or offshore, will be catastrophic for wildlife communities.'

Bearing this is mind, perhaps we could identify some (or all) of the creatures that might be adversely affected? Pictures must have been taken in the tidal Thames area.
