Long-tailed Duck - one female type (bill looks a bit pinkish, might possibly be a 1st winter male) with Tufted Ducks in the middle of the lake between the hide and the sailing club at 12.45-13.00 today. (Got a record shot which I'll upload if I can have a password please Andy)

Kingfisher - just 2 weeks after a major clean-up of our garden pond which had all but disappeared we have just had our first ever Kingfisher sighting in the garden. Perching in a willow and also on a bamboo stalk it dived into the pond once and flew out with something and flew off trailing some weed. It seemed to cause a lot of upset for other garden birds who alarmed continually during it's 15 minute stay. We're about 200 yards from a stream. Best sighting since the Water Rail of a few winters ago.

Otter. Standing in water on the wooden platform in front of the bird hide, I failed to notice what was swimming about 6 feet in front of me - a young Otter. As soon as I moved to photograph, it was gone.

Female blackcap in garden today, but feeders generally quiet due to mild weather. Noticed that new leaves are starting to grow on quite a few hedgerow hazels locally.
