With the weather forecast to get worse as the days goes on I decided to take a quick walk around Longlands this morning to see what was around. The lake was busy as normal with Mallards, Mute Swans and Little Grebes but no sign of the resident Otter today. I took a wander along the river and was greeted by three Gooseanders , a Kingfisher which flew off never to be seen again, and a lone Treecreeper. Not the best wildlife trip ever, but a nice wander around with some lovely birds before the rain hit!
