Monday, Jan 30th - Otters again
Great views a few moments ago of two otters on The Whooper Pond - to the great consternation of the Whooper Swans themselves. The drake American Wigeon is back on The Flood Ground and the sun is shining. A good day so far. Yesterday there were 125 Twite near The Avenue Tower but no sign today so far...
Todays high tide is at 13:48, 9.5m
