Still flooded, but on the otter hand...

Volunteers Melvyn and Brenda braved the floods over the weekend and were rewarded with a glimpse of this chap, swimming over what's usually a footpath south-west of Drayton Lagoon.

 

 

We may know they're there, but it has to be a lucky day to actually meet one of these elusive creatures on the reserve. Thanks to Melvyn and Brenda for sharing this moment - a lovely reminder of the variety of creatures Fen Drayton Lakes is home to.
