Wildlife bonanza!

Bastard Otters.
Not a Fisherman’s best friend.

Not many people see them in the wild thus you are lucky.


Definitely seen a “big cat” many years ago, both the Mrs (no) and myself watched it in a field as it disappeared over a dip.
Height of a large Black Labrador but far longer in the body, longer tail and the walk so distinctive of a cat.
Been other sightings but that was 15 or so years back.
I've been reading up and there's been a lot of big cats sightings around these parts...I wouldn't know who to report it too without sounding like a loon though.
 


Saw a red squirrel at the weekend when I was riding past on my bike, only the second one I've ever seen.

The next day I saw a seal in the Wear up beside the Shipwrights.
 
Dug a smallish pond in my back garden during lockdown about 18 months ago as a bit of excitement for the kids. Has been completely devoid of life despite planting it up and adding a water fountain etc to the point it has been nigh on forgotten about.

Just had a quick look tonight and it's teeming with life spotted 4 newts, 2 toads and several water snails.
