Otter Bliss

21/6/2014

 
Mid-summer's day is never wasted, especially when it falls on a Saturday and the weather forecast is perfect.  Waking at 5am I was at Leighton Moss for 6am and headed straight for Lower Hide in search of otters.  I didn't have to wait long for this one to appear and, for once, I got a close encounter...

Mission accomplished, I decided to head to Gait Barrows where insects were bound to be waking up in the morning sun.  They were indeed, especially butterflies...
