ANIMAL lovers can go otter-spotting this weekend, as part of a guided walk.

Guides on the two-hour ramble along the banks of the River Tees will be on the lookout for otters and seals, checking for the animals' tracks and observing their behaviour.

Organised by Tees Valley Wildlife Trust, the walk starts from outside the Talpore pub, in Stockton, at 2.30pm on Sunday.

Walkers should wear suitable clothing and footwear. For details, call Jonathan Pounder, on (01642) 759900.
