Just like buses....

Three weeks ago I saw my first otter at Leighton Moss in 35 years, and today, on my very next visit we saw another! This time it was much closer and from the Lower Hide.

Also today, about five beared tits along the causeway, where we also saw the first brimstone butterflies of the year, three sand martins from Lillians and about three marsh harriers. At the Allan pools there were about 30 avocets and 800 black-tailed godwits.

Year 169 (Sand martin, beared tit). This time last year I was on 181.
