That must have been a magical moment for you Laurence, right place, right time.
Excellent record Laurence, thanks for posting it. There have not been many sightings of otter so far this year, but some of them have been very close. I really must write a blog soon, about turtle doves, marsh harriers, barn owls, spotted flycatchers, kingfishers, lapwings, tufted ducklings, etc...
