A Lifer & A Surprise

Travelled to North Shields Fish Quay today for the Iceland Gull (a lifer). What I did not expect to see was an Otter in the harbour. Having talked to some of the locals that were on the quay (some of whom have lived in North Shields for nearly fifty years) it appears, from what they were telling me, that this is the first time that an Otter has been seen in the harbour. So a nice surprise to see one even as brief as it was.
