This is Will Lewis, the local otter expert, with a motion sensitive wildlife camera, by the lake at Greenstreete.
He says the Otters have been there every month recently and are attracted by the water.
Lots of Otter spraints have also been found all along the river.
This is Dan Westbury from the Radnorshire Wildlife Trust who is working with us on the management of the wetlands and is planning to construct ‘leaky dams’ later in the year.
Dan has also spotted a couple of Kingfishers down by the lake.
It is Radnorshire Wildlife Trust who put up motion sensor cameras and who sent us all the footage.
In Samatha we really are incredibly privileged to have stewardship of such an amazing hotspot for nature. I have no doubt that the hidden cameras will reveal more delights as time goes on.
Wonderfully encouraging!
100% Brill !

Wonderful news. I’ve swum in the pond twice so far this year- also delightful. If everyone who swims pulls out a few of the water soldiers we’ll keep them at bay.
