Welcome to the forum doofer 
I can't answer your question, but well done on spotting the Otter, I've yet to see one! 
Hopefully someone will answer your question soon.

People do not always report otter sightings as not all humans like them.

Otters are sort Of being spotted more often now, as water ways are getting cleaner and their are more munchies for them.
I know for the wyre forest area otters are still uncommon, but more people are seeing their leavings (prints and poos)! :-) Only seen them on our cameras as they are in the river under our town centre :-D
You should be able to get more info from your local wildlife groups
Good luck with more wildlife spotting! |

All the major rivers of East Anglia are colonized, so getting out to Northamptonshire is expected.
The Beccles Otter trust introduction scheme has been stopped for several years as they have been so successful. |

Can our British wild fish stocks stand this predation or are we going to see some species in danger? The British freshwater eel is already having a hard time, and when the Otters start to eat large amounts of wild salmon their going to come head on with very wealthy land owners.
