Otters on Ice

Trip to Big Waters today, the lake was frozen and the wildfowl clustered together on the ice.  Alarm calls spoke of a predator about,and sure enough a pair of Otters skipped across the ice, none of the birds took to the skies

Good mix of birds today with a few Yellowhammers showing well, and a single Pinkfoot in among the Greylag,large  numbers of Wigeon, Teal, Mallard, and Coot, and a few Fieldfare.

Quick check on Killy Lake on the way home, everything squashed into the only bit of unfrozen water.
