Hurray - Martin Mere baby otters meet the public

The otter cubs are now beginning to come out for feed times but are closely guarded by their parents.  Today one fell into the water but was quickly saved by a watchful parent.  They are unable to swim yet and will need swimming lessons very soon given by - yes you guessed - Mum and Dad.
Sorry the photos aren't very good but they were taken through the glass screen,  I couldn't get my prime viewing place as there were lots of visitors today. 








We're over here!!!

Otters and Swallows

Still waiting for the babies to show their faces!






These babies were slightly more obliging, there were 4 of them lined up each screaming for the next tasty mouthful to come their way!








Mersey tunnel springs to mind!
