Britain's Edwin Timewell attempts to usher a Northern Bottle-nosed Whale away from the Chelsea embankment of the river Thames near Battersea Bridge in south London January 20, 2006. The small whale swam up the Thames to central London on Friday, a rare event which drew large crowds of sightseers and brought traffic to a standstill. [Reuters]
