Enjoyed several minutes of watching an otter on the canal this morning. Also saw a stoat and enjoyed listening to dippers singing.

Not quite as good as @Dave 123 goldcrest picture

Our trail camera has been positioned in front of the feeder hanging from the christmas tree in the garden to see who was using it and this sparrow seems to be a guilty party

Well we went on our river Exe bird cruise, and very good it was too. 20 minutes before boarding a heavy fog rolled in…. After 5 minutes on the boat it disappeared.

After 3 hours I was chilled to the bone, hopefully it won’t add to my lurgy.

Birds seen were- shag, cormorant, Brent goose, pintail, teal, mallard,red breasted merganser, shelduck, great northern diver, black tailed godwit, bar tailed godwit, Dublin, sanderling, lapwing, avocet, turnstone,greenshank, redshank golden plover, oystercatcher, little egret, marsh harrier, black headed gull, lesser and greater black backed gull, kingfisher, great crested grebe, mute sea, bar headed goose . I think that’s all…

Conditions were a little dull.
