Morna update ✨🦦

Morna arrived with us a few months ago after being found alone on the South West Coast Path in Cornwall.

Did you know …?

Otters have ‘couches’ 🛋️🦦.

These are above-ground places where they rest during the daytime. You might spot areas of flattened reeds or long grass at the edge of the water forming a mat.
