Otter family at Martin Mere

Thai and Ned have reproduced again this year - they have 3 female kits born on 13th July.  I believe all kits are healthy so should be out with their parents very soon.

Thai and Ned come out for a rest from parental duties for a scatter feed.  Just before they came out they were seen taking new straw into the hut either to keep the babies warm or to block their exit!!









The mallards, as enthusiastic as ever, rearing yet more young!

Cedar Farm Mawdesley


Took Ethan to Cedar Farm one day but apart form these lovely goats there wasn't much for a very young child.  A Vintage Fair was advertised so I foolishly expected vintage cars etc!  Should have done my homework - it cost £1 to go in and it looked like a jumble sale - we didn't  pay we turned heel and ran!!
