One of the most unlikely findings on my trails in the Lea Valley Park is the Bow Creek Ecology Park otter ramp. If you walk to the south end of that park there is a bit of a wilderness which is fenced off, and if you look closely, there's a note explaining how this is a great potential otter habitat. I've discussed this with a few colleagues, we think the chances of there being otters by the Thames here are pretty unlikely. One joke was that it would make a great city break for them, particularly with the excellent local transport routes (you can see the DLR track on the photo)! Still, I can't help watching that ramp just-in-case. Would be delighted to hear more about this. Do we have otter guests?
