The Otter Watcher

Welcome to The Otter Watcher. This blog represents a challenge to myself following my observations of Otters in Shetland. People say watching Otters on British rivers is almost impossible but perhaps that is because we don't look hard enough. Otters are here in deepest Hampshire and they are on the increase and i hope to see them for myself. Through patient observation and regular note taking I hope discover more about the otters in my own back yard here in Hampshire.

Mother and Pup!

I thought I'd posted this footage a while ago but apparently not! This film footage was captured in June 2013 using a remote camera set up beneath a small bridge under which the Otters had previously sprainted on a regular basis.

On this occasion I was lucky enough to capture two Ottters presumably a mother with a single pup or two pups. It would be unusual to see two adult Otters together like this.

A great sight but since that time the water levels have been so high i've not been able to gain access to the bridge to follow up on this sighting.
