Otter

A very unexpected visitor to the garden.

Just passing through

You can imagine my surprise to find this clip on one of my trail cameras recently. Usually, in this location, I would see members of our local badger family heading out to find food or bedding. So to see an otter was something of a shock.

Our location is on a hill and nowhere near a river or stream. There are a few local ponds but I'm not aware of any being stocked with fish - unless there are a few ornamental ponds in local gardens? If so they are likely to be loosing a few goldfish sometime soon!

Let's hope this one returns and is not a passing visitor.

For the record, the footage has been slowed down and processed to make the image clearer.
