It's Otter at Wallbridge
by: Richard Attwood
Today my wife and I were walking to Stroud to check out any
Black Friday deals when we were able to join a small group of people on the
towpath at the Brewery Wall.
The reason for the group of people was to watch the antics
of Lutra lutra, otherwise
known as the European otter.
Mr
Otter (or was it Mrs) was having a great time playing in the water. He or she
was ducking and diving in the canal, climbing on the lower gate of Wallbridge
Upper Lock, and inspecting the floating litter thrown in by passing litter
bugs.
Eventually
he or she headed down stream towards Wallbridge Lower Lock. Probably to inspect
the plaque on the bench commemorating the visit by George III.
