5th January 2010 - Walked across the causeway on Leighton Moss to RSPB shop for more nuts and seeds for my feeders. Meres all iced up and very icy underfoot. The sun looked beautiful as it was very low in the sky and was shining through the reeds.
We are very fortunate that there have been regular sightings and great views of an otter swimming around and catching fish during the day which is quite unusual. Their return to Leighton Moss is thought to have been helped by the recent removal of excess sediment from the reserve's pools which has improved water quality and thus fish stock for the otters to feed on.
The Woodpeckers can be heard most days drumming away in the woods and tonight snow is falling again.
