Just seen that on my Facebook feed. Let's just hope that being late doesn't give them problems over the winter. I've only ever seen otters in the wild twice - both coastal otters in Wester Ross. One time out on Exmoor I got wildly excited only to get a better look and realise it was a mink................
Cool.
It's been many years since I was last at Slimbridge, I was actually a teenager, so I'm guessing, 35 years ago or so. I used to live not too far away in the South Wales Valleys. Slimbridge was even then, a great local resource and it's good to see it still abundant in wildlife.
Funny isn't it, I've only just been going since I retired a few years ago ... often saw the signs and passed the road into Slimbridge but never took the time to pop in before I retired.
Nice gramps - if your ever up this way Brandon Marsh otters do show in the day quite a lot..
