Otter Valley Observations Record

This page is intended to be a record of the ongoing observations that I make on a regular basis. This will, I hope help to establish patterns of behaviour and note any unusual observations throughout the year. Of course I may have to adjust this a bit from time to time but I think this just about covers everything. Some information may be omitted or changed to protect the exact identity of the locations.
