A new report from the Otter Trust reckons Tarka and his mates have now re-colonised most of Britain's river systems. Top banana.
However, the effects of this are more and more fisheries suffering fish kills.
No way would I ever advocate going back to hunting these beautiful creatures.
The problem appears to be that population shifts (or declines, depending who you believe...) in many rivers mean otters have started preying on commercial fisheries.
Otter-proof fencing costs a bomb, is there another answer which doesn't involve destroying them..?
