Northern Experience Wildlife Tours

We’ve just finished a run of 3 late finishes in 3 days…and we’re looking forward to more over the next couple of months

Tuesday was our latest Otter Safari and I collected Steve & Marilyn, Nigel & Jane and Vince & Karin from Church Point before heading north through Druridge Bay.  After a tour of the coast that included a fantastic fly-past by a male Marsh Harrier at East Chevington and an impromptu ‘terns and gulls’ ID session we setttled into position by one of our favourite Otter spots.  We didn’t see anything other than mild panic amongst the waterfowl, and the elusive predator remained, well elusive.  A Barn Owl flying past was so close that the view was like a whiteout through binoculars, but eventually we had to admit defeat when it was simply too dark to see anything.  That’s the thing about wildlife…but if it was always predictable it would be boring.
