Description
At one time otters were widespread throughout the United Kingdom. But pollution and diminishing fish stocks in many rivers caused a fast decline in their numbers from the late 1950s. By the 1980s otters had all but disappeared from England, except for pockets of survival in the south-west and on the borders of Wales and Scotland. They had, however, survived in Scotland and Northern Ireland and also in Cornwall, Devon and Wales, though in heavily depleted numbers.
Things are now looking better. Otters have been recorded again in places where they used to thrive and their population is spreading far afield from their strongholds in Scotland, Wales and the South-West
Thanks as always for looking and for any comments
