What wildlife did you spot today?

[Nice65]

I've just seen that, one of my favourite creatures, sort of remind me of work where I used sort out other people's mess.

We get quite a few here and they even sort out the cat mess.

I’m not sure where they all appeared from so quickly, the horse wasn’t long gone by but there were probably 10 or so of them.

Although surrounded by all sorts of wildlife, birds are most prevalent here. Having a brew with curlews, raven & skylarks with the place to yourself is rather special.

A rare sighting in these parts. A group of long tailed tits landed in the woodland here. I love them. x

currently it's rainy season here, which means our "moat" (==river separating farm from civilization ) is much higher than normal, but yesterday i was lucky enough to see a neotropical otter make it's way upstream without noticing me

I had to look up "neotropical", apparently a disctinct species and near the endangered level so a rare and fortunate sighting.

sadly no pics (=my only camera these days is my phone and that stays switched off in my cabin unless i head to the "office" (=Wi-Fi spot) in the afternoon...)
i've seen them a few times in different locations (Costa Rica and near lake nicaragua), some folks claim they only exist south of the Darien, but i live north of that -- guess they get mixed up between neotropical and giant otter...
i never saw eurasian otters (lutra lutra) in europe, but up to 3 together in one place in south korea (which is surprising given the amount of pesticides in the water)
