PEOPLE who want to know more about otters can join Tees Valley Wildlife Trust on Sunday, February 26, on an otter spotting training course with local expert Arthur West.

Part of the Mammal Action Tees Valley Project, the session will include a short introductory talk, followed by lessons on the history of otters and how to spot their field signs. It will culminate in a minibus tour of the area looking for field evidence. The session starts at 10.30am from the Margrove Heritage Centre, outside Guisborough. To book a place, ring Jonathan Pounder on (01287) 636382.
