On Friday the 21/11/25 at the large pond (Tiffin’s pond) at Toad Holes Beck I watched an Otter for about 10 minutes both in the water and exploring the bank.
The animal was in excellent condition. This is my second record of an Otter at this site the other was also in November (30th) 2019.
Given an Otter territory is vast, covering up to 40km of watercourses, dense vegetation or wooded areas, which they use for breeding and resting it is possible this pond is part of a territory.
Thankfully the pond is now owned by nature friendly Tiffin’s Sandwiches so I have informed them of their Special Guest!
