Otters

After a few discussions with the local residents I have finally pinpointed the area where an otter holt exists on private land in the lower parts of the valley.
Bitterns, avocets and now otters - what ever next !!!
Great news for those of us that have watched this part of the valley since the river was nothing but an open sewer that regularly changed colour every other day as it was used as a dumping ground for all sorts of liquid waste.
