Wow--an Otter in your garden--nice!
Actually on a local brook not in my garden

Very interesting. Badger gates are new to me... they're put in to allow badgers to "cross" stone fences I take it? Are they intended to keep other animals (which?) from passing through? I guess the sniffing is to see who's been by recently?

Perhaps when 'British' English was closest to 'American' English and they were literally within earshot of one another across the battlefield? Around about the the reign of George III is my guess.I would be interested to know how it came into common use in the USA.
Hi Gretchen, two nations separated by a common language - stone wall, wooden fence. For what its worth Tom Clancy uses the same expression in a UK context which is absolutely not on. I would be interested to know how it came into common use in the USA.

Thanks Laura! Was this just designed by you then? Or do others use them too?
That's a Mink raft, right Mark?

Great pics Mark.
I have been wanting to get some footage like this for a while and was finally rewarded with a HD clip of a fox during the day. Hope you like it.
