End of year review - Video 6

This is the last of my trail camera videos looking back at 2020.  Another video of otters in the culvert and the first time I used two cameras simultaneously to improve the picture.  The ramp is a couple of planks I put in after seeing the trauma of the mother trying to pull the pup up the sluice gate by its whiskers.  Here the mother has lost track of the pup and runs back calling to it.  The pup is squeaking up above and mother leads it back down the ramp and through the pipe.

  1. Again lovely to see animals moving around and communicating without intrusions. The pup obviously checking out your scent now too. Interesting alarm call was it all from the pup?
    Many thanks for a lockdown year of great pictures and commentary, hope 2021 will bring new opportunities for us all. Best wishes, Liz

    1. Most of the sounds (the grumbling) are from the mother, Liz. The squeak is a contact call from the pup. Look out for fresh otter footage tomorrow.
