First cuckoo heard over towards Lower Mill, on Thurs 16 April … earlier than last year …. anyone ever managed to get a photo of a cuckoo ….. !!

On the evening of 08/04/20 we put out a motion sensor wildlife camera close to the board walk and were delighted to find that a pair of Otters had visited during the night!! The Eurasian otter is the only otter species to inhabit Europe and Is found in most areas of England and Wales. Otter territories are large and can cover up to 40km, with habitats including watercourses, dense vegetation and woodland areas. (source Canal & Rivers Trust)

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to write what they have seen at the lake on the whiteboard. Don’t forget to bring your own whiteboard marker!

A pair of Red-Crested Pochards were spotted on 01/04/20 at around 6:15pm! If you have any photos you would like us to share please email them to us!
