Popular Post Doc Posted July 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2023 Otter (Lutra lutra) - Kingfisher hide, Attenborough Nature Reserve, Attenborough, Nottingham, England Waited nearly 2 hours for this otter to appear, swam to within 40 metres of the hide but the lighting was terrible, had wonderful views through my binoculars. The otter was quite happily eating crayfish and seemed oblivious to us in the hide. +RonC, +Streetbob, +Derbyshire Dave and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted July 29, 2023 Author Share Posted July 29, 2023 I spoke to a warden while in the hide and there is only one even though someone reported four the other day. As far as I know it's been there about seven days. It is never seen after 10 am and has only been seen once before it got to dark, so 6 to 9 is the best time. About 28 years ago I worked at Attenborough Quarry as a fitter and one of my jobs was the holiday and sickness relief on the barges that travelled between Attenborough and Long Eaton, I used to see them then but I haven't seen one for well over 25 years at Attenborough. +Derbyshire Dave and +Bino-viewer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
