I've never had the pleasure of seeing one in it's natural state but I live in hope. I've seen signs of them in Shropshire but again I never came face to face with one and I could never see the day whe

I've put a fair bit of badger fencing in for folk over the last few years. But in the last few months I've had 3 calls to put otter fencing up. 2 on fisheries and one on a chicken unit. I didn't even know we had them local. I spent an hour or two down the banks of my local river/stream and they are definitely there. Once you start looking, the signs are there :thumbs:

Get the spare bed made up Zerky, I want putting on the best spot, I'll bring it some samon.

Any time mate, you know that. I couldn't believe it, was working on the river bank this morning (patching up some stone work) had a cuppa I went to put a banker in then Jake came running up like a mad man shouting (in a whisper) Otter, Otter!!! and there it was slimming along the edge of the bank! When it stopped and realised we were there it look and I don't know why but I squeaked and it was gone waited and watch for about 10 mins but no sign!! it was about 0.5miles from the shed where I was living!!

I think the introductions made recently were of the European otter rather than our own native which is a tad bigger than ours .Dont know if its fact or hearsay .We have some artificial holts on backwaters here covered in rushes .Surprised we havnt come across one yet .

I'm not sure this is correct mate. I believe at least some of the original otters used in captive breeding were live trapped in the north of Scotland.
