as i was turning Molly out after her tea, there were three ducks in the mare's field - one female, two male.
then I was talking to one of the anglers, and he says just below the 20 acre there are 2 otters, he thinks youngsters, that he sees the same time every night, and furhter a long a kingfisher has a favourite tree.
and he once saw a stag (roe deer one) looking at him through a bush...
so must spend some time sitting by the river one night, i think
the men hadn't come back to finish the job; we went out for tea!

Oh, would I love to see some otters at play in the wild. We have wild ducks, wild geese, rabbits, squirrels, and groundhogs in my backyard. I think there may be a beaver dam in one of the wood ponds. But otters!!! You will have to go out on an evening nature "sit" some night.
jean, go here:

and watch the episodes online - they're hoping to have otters today or tomorrow, they said.
in fact, might be worth telling the school about this generally, i expect there's some good educational opportunities in a nature programme from the UK, totally different from over your way and there's some good stuff this year.
they even got a scottish wild cat (very rare) this week.
