Urban wildlife.

Some guy in the city I used to live took these pics,the rivers cleaned up massively since I was a kid,i know exactly where these pics were taken,granted they aren't pin-sharp but they were right-place right-time photos,urban otters,quite a few people have seen them,along with seals,visiting the city centre.

Call it a feeling,but something tells me I could live to the ripe old age of 101 and I will never see a pic showing a genuine 100% born wild in the UK puma or leopard,a recent escapee maybe but nothing born and bred in the wild

This one was killed on the road last week in an area that hasn’t had otters for long time.

Not a nice thing to see, but roadkill is a good indicator of wildlife in any given area, been seeing a fair few badgers and hares lately

Looked like a real healthy animal, well besides the catastrophic head injuries.

See a few buzzards on telegraph poles by the local hospital.
