Otters and Hard Boiled Eggs

A walk out to the Fasanerie today and we got there just at the point they were going to feed the otters. One of whom was hugely excited about it. It saw the van coming and it started to run up and down the enclosure, standing on its hind legs and chittering. And then the keeper chucked dinner over the fence.

Hard boiled eggs and half a sheep's head. I can't remember that bit from Tarka The Otter or Ring Of Bright Water. Hard boiled eggs I can just about take but the sheep's head is just too odd.

However, the otters didn't care, they got stuck in and one ran off down a pipe with the sheep's head.

The storks in the next pen got fed too. Not frogs but baby chickens. The ones with the cute yellow feathers. It was not a day for cute anthropomorphic observations.
