We have some more videos to share with you. We have 2 pairs of otters seconds apart, so we must have at least 4 living on site. They seem to be quite a close family unit. Much as we’d love for us to start naming them, we can’t tell them apart! Then we have a badger having a little drink and a muddy fox. All captured in the same place, showing that they share the same habitat. I doubt they are best of friends, but can get along or avoid each other enough to share.
Let us know in the comments what you think about the otter family. Are we watching mum and dad followed by two pups? The second pair seem a bit smaller and a bit more skittish?
Only ducks but this made us chuckle
I hope that breeding has occured and that some are youngsters 😊👍.
Fantastic! Exciting times. Cant wait for more videos of the otters.
Wonderful footage! Such clear images of the animals is a joy to watch.
Loved the ducks too! 🥰🤣
Keep up the amazing work.
Wonderful
Wonderful, great footage, well done Newt👏
Super cool. Great to capture such amazing wildlife so close to home! Well done NEWT!
Lovely videos. Do the otters follow a regular track? Loved the big duck family. Same water entry point as otters or different?
There is no routine or pattern that we can see. Sometimes we go weeks without seeing them so I suspect they have a large territory. And yes lots of animals share the gap to access the river or just have a quick drink like the badger.
Really enjoyed your footage,fascinating to watch the otters and the badger,and so close to Newbury. Otters likely to be mum and dad and pups following them. Cute ducks,too. Your hard work is being rewarded. Am proud of you and your efforts.
This is really very encouraging. It’s great to see the wildlife inhabiting this area. A promising development.
Lovely footage and so good to see – thanks for posting
