Here's the picture & info about it. Lori It's the pleasure wherry Ardea.

jeffbroadslover Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hi Lori, When there was a webcam at Southgates yard at Horning it was usually focused on the work being carried out on Ardea. After the work was completed and Ardea left the yard the webcam was left in the same position as they had a resident otter to watch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
