An otter! Large as life, happily splashing in the river, just below the main bridge into town. Clearly visible in the street lights and 20 yards from the nearest house, 50 yards from the main car park!

Great!

Re: Wildlife sighting


I'm envious!! That would have been such a lovely sight to see. Apparently they are looking to release 50 otters into the scottish countryside this year.
