After hearing about Otter sightings a couple of months ago.I finally saw a pair the other day but didn't have time for a snap before they dived. This morning I met a chap on his way back down the slope from the reserve proper, who said that following a tip from Chris Hearn, the NRW warden, he'd just seen one up on R4. I walked up the slope to the first screen and the sun was shining directly behind R8 making it virtually impossible to see what was on the lagoon. However by squinting and using the slats in the fence as a shield I saw the unmistakeable shape of an Otter breaking the water. Only 'record shots' but so chuffed to have caught it at last. This means that the Otters have recently been sighted on R4, R6 and R8.

Well done David. Having the ice present has certainly enabled you to get two great photos.
Incredible photos. I would be so thrilled to get views as good as these let alone photograph them. Congratulations
Great thread this, wonderful Otter captures & that dear little Wren, do have a soft spot for them! Thanks guys!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Sensational photos David, I gave my usual visit a miss today in favour of Fforest Ganol, looks like I missed a real treat, well done!!!
Colin that's a gorgeous Wren, good to know that the Beards are still around even though they are keeping their heads down!
