Otters are in the top 5 coolest bastards in nature like

Fucked all my Barbel fishing up though.

I stocked a local river a few seasons back with some decent fish.
Otters had the lot. All small rivers down here like the Cherwell and Windrush have been wiped out by Otters.
On the wider Rivers such as the Thames they stand more chance.
7 years ago I caught 14 Barbel in s single session on the Thames. I am lucky to catch one a season now. The otter population will struggle on the smaller waterways due to lack of food.
Just watch the carp lakes being hit when they move out to find food and then the Otters will be culled.
It will happen just like the Cormorants are now being shot in land.

Saw a Siskin the other day. It was a new one for me.

Nice one.

Was a few waxwings in the trees for a few days next to where the ALS shop is about 15 years ago.
Used to go and watch them on me dinner break. Amazing

Not seen one for years.
Get hundreds of Fieldfares and Redwings down here though.
Eat all the berries off my holly bushes.

Feeding the blackbirds with suet pellets during these cold mornings.
They are waiting for me :)
