Otter makes a stand for wildlife trust

The eight-foot high wicker otter, which was one of the attractions at the countryside display at last year's County Show, will be making a re-appearance this year.

The otter belongs to the Wildlife Trust for south and west Wales and will be part of the presentation.

The focus at the trust's stand this year will be on wetlands and ponds and there will be tanks with all sorts of examples of pond wildlife.

A trust spokesman said: "We will be able to give a lot of advice to people on how they can maintain their 'patch' for wildlife, whether that patch is a small garden, a window box or a farmland estate."

q Things were looking up for this wicker otter, pictured outside the trust's stand at last year's County Show. With the otter are Julie, Henry Caitlin and Taine Davies, of Simpson Cross; Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society general manager Malcolm Crossman, and Michelle Dunn, the trust's conservation officer.
