It depends where you live,i think,i have always seen
Otters on our local river for over 25 years now.The last 5 years has seen a dramatic increase as i seen one in the town about 2 months back.It walked past my house ,now my house is built on top of a piped stream which is piped for about 2 mile from the river up then opens and is drainage fed from fields.I was amazed to see it although it was about 10.30 pm .I thought it was a cat but then noticed that mustelid gait and i ran out and seen him crossing the road.From what ive gathered they will travel streams at this time of the year to find silver eels running ,but the stream has been piped for about 40 years at a guess and i wonder how he knew where it reopened if he came from the river up?
Anytime ive seen them feeding they have been eating eels.
