The task today was to build two otter holts on the site of this nature reserve. The site was a marshy area which had a good stream running through it. The Forestry Commission had been using their heavy machinery to clear a lot of trees and shrub at the edges of the site which provided us with the logs and small branches for the otter holts.
The team have finished the otter holt and are tidying up

The green brush is used to cover the roof and to provide a camoflage for the otter holt

 

 

The layout is in place using the larger logs and the sturdy thinner wood is used as a roof

 

The team are deciding the best way to construct the otter holt
