Can't believe it :eek: :eek: :eek:

This is the place at the bridge towards the center right? Unfortunately I only spend one evening there for the dippers...

Cheers

Hi Brian

What a great surprise. Even seeing an otter would be a highlight, but for them to come within camera range and hang about for a bit is amazing.

cheers

Sounds like you had a cracking day!! Many, many apologies for not making it, I set off and made it about 4 miles down the road, when I got a puncture :frown: :mad: Wasn't much chance of getting it sorted and making it on time on a Sunday!
