Introduction
You may notice that, in some years, the Lake & Grounds area have relatively few posts. However, the photographic record was maintained and you can expect new material to be added when time is found. This means the new posts may appear anywhere on the site and not just in the current year's page. The best way to ensure you miss nothing is to visit the What's New page where you can find how you can subscribe to our newsletter.

3 February 2021 - Another Visit by an Otter
This year we seem to be seeing the otter more frequently than we did last year. It was just after 09:47 that I caught the first rather blurry video of the otter on my phone though the lounge windows. At that time it had just come under the bridge and was approaching the house.
7 January 2021 - An Otter and Heron Caught on Video
It is certainly not the best quality, but worth recording here as it is the first time the two iconic species have been captured on a single video.
It seems a shame the camera was not kept running for a little longer after the heron disappeared behind the island as later, when reviewing the video, it seems the otter had just re-entered the water.
