John Creedon sent us this clip of an otter yesterday afternoon. It is the fourth time he has spotted an otter at this location which is the last place most people would expect to see one. Thanks John. #cork

Otter catching fish in a trout pool on the River Bride last night. This pool will be destroyed and buried in a pipe under the current OPW flood scheme plans. Please make a submission before Oct 10th. See our pinned post for details . #cork

Our little River Bride kingfisher is back again. Ten minutes of scoping from the stick and a catch. Sound up for the 'thunks' as the fish is slapped into submission before being swallowed whole. #Cork

A reminder that the OPW could not find a kingfisher on our lovely River Bride in Blackpool. All they really needed was a magic kingfisher stick and a highly motivated individual to find them. Filmed this evening. It wasn’t difficult. #cork

Otter fishing from a trout pool whilst you are all getting ready for bed. It’s completely dark here. Just using its whiskers, paws, tail, teeth, instinct…and what its mother taught it…to survive. Video quality shit. What can you do. #cork

Poor OPW couldn’t find any Kingfishers on the River Bride. We try to be as helpful as possible and have temporarily turned our trail camera attentions away from otters to focus on kingfishers. We present this little bum waggy specimen filmed on the Bride on Wednesday. #cork
