Photos of the birds seen around the Lower Otter Nature Reserve

 

With the help of members keen on wildlife photography we are developing a library of reference photos. The aim is to help others to appreciate the extent of the wildlife in the Otter Estuary and be able to identify what they see. 

We have started with a gallery of images of the birds most frequently seen around the River Otter, particularly the estuary. 

We have organised the gallery so that in any section there are never more than about twenty images to scroll through. This has meant that we have used simple descriptions, rather than scientific ones, to group birds into families. We are always open to suggestions for improvements.
