Whose that??  The Darter has spotted something in the grass...

If you look carefully you can see it - its a Cape Clawless Otter which we watched swim across the Pond and then exit onto the grass and wander round before hurrying back into the water.Off course the Egyptian Goose spends her days here with her two chicks, and would be just the kind of meal the Otter is looking for.  I was amazed at just how agile and quick the Otter is - the chicks just wouldn't stand a chance and Mama Goose would have no way of defending them.

After swimming around, he was gone.  Another wonderful sighting, which we've not often seen down this end.  Sometimes we see a family of Otters in one of the channels, and they're quite curious and will come and swim round our canoe to investigate us.
