Otters and Deer

Spring continues to gather momentum - the crops are growing in the fields, migrating birds are returning from their wintering lands and wildlife is getting frisky.

A few hours spent in the hide at Wassand reaped dividends when 3 Otters turned up:
Hopefully these wonderful animals will thrive here at Hornsea Mere and will be left alone!

The local Roe Deer are being seen more and more often as the days get longer. There are several in the woods and fields now and if you're quick enough you can get a few nice images before they run off

On the cliffs birds have been arriving in good numbers, particularly Meadow Pipits and Linnets. I counted 23 Meadow Pipits and 12 Linnets in-off while I walked along the cliffs yesterday.
