It was overgrown and neglected for decades, but the Stroudwater canal is now home to otters! Check out these beauties...
Searching for the missing mile (and getting up close with the weeping willow!) @Marthakearney explores the Stroudwater canal. @CotswoldCanals @gloswildlife bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002sr4…

Don't miss it! bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00202m…
If you want a lovely gentle half-hour at 3pm tune into @BBCRadio4 for a journey round the Suffolk countryside with my mentor Maggi Hambling. We start in a ditch and end up at The Scallop. Maggi isn’t as fierce as she looks here… you’ll be very surprised. 💙
