Used to take people their to show em a fox called on the way home if we'd blanked. They release all-sorts from there 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Loads of seals on the n/e coast mackem... there a pain in the arse, they make a right mess of the nets and fishing off the rocks is a waste of time if there are a few kicking about!! they reintroduced otters too which fcuked my local lake so that’s why I ditched fishing for shooting 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shaaark 10,907 Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 (edited) The river taff, south wales, which I've lived less than 300 yards from for most of my life, in different areas, is now among the 10 cleanest rivers in britain. Kingfishers, dippers, wagtails, mallards, widgeon, grebes, little and great crested, and a host of other birds and wildlife, are regularly seen, including otters, that two of my mates have seen,but I've still yet to see one, and I've fished and walked many stretches of it regularly. Great for salmon, sewin, and brilliant for brown trout and grayling. Otters, increasing everywhere, even on my local river which I frequent very regularly, and I've never seen one. And people doubt that big cats can go undetected in this country lol Edited May 17, 2019 by shaaark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I've seen mink and otters in the same area so they don't always wipe them out they were both present on a small loch in Scotland over a number of years i fished there 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
