A lot of the road casualty,s that pop up around the country have actually had an accident near or in a fishery and been placed on the road to make it look like a traffic accident, one very well known carp water I no of have had 6 run over right outside the gate in recent years, but there has been lies and deception on both sides as no official release program has been admitted to yet I no of at least one road casualty that had a chip in it from the RSPCA at west hatch near Taunton, man playing god again, the main benefit I,ve seen from otters is they absolutely wipe out any mink as soon as they move in and water voles are making a good comeback as a result

Call the field behind it and it's like shooting fish in a barrel, they come down like collies being whistled. Used to take people their to show em a fox called on the way home if we'd blanked.  They release all-sorts from there

Loads of seals on the n/e coast mackem... there a pain in the arse, they make a right mess of the nets and fishing off the rocks is a waste of time if there are a few kicking about!!

they reintroduced otters too which fcuked my local lake so that’s why I ditched fishing for shooting

Mackem, I have,nt been able to track my old mate down but I think this is the people he contacted regarding his fox,s

The river taff, south wales, which I've lived less than 300 yards from for most of my life, in different areas, is now among the 10 cleanest rivers in britain. Kingfishers, dippers, wagtails, mallards, widgeon, grebes, little and great crested, and a host of other birds and wildlife, are regularly seen, including otters, that two of my mates have seen,but I've still yet to see one, and I've fished and walked many stretches of it regularly. Great for salmon, sewin, and brilliant for brown trout and grayling.

Otters, increasing everywhere, even on my local river which I frequent very regularly, and I've never seen one. And people doubt that big cats can go undetected in this country lol

I've seen mink and otters in the same area so they don't always wipe them out they were both present on a small loch in Scotland over a number of years i fished there

Theres a million pics,corpses etc of otters in the UK in the wild and dead on roads,no doubting their existance,they are indigenous british wildlife and classified as such,bad analogy to a fictional creature,these were taken in sunderland,broad daylight,are there any similar of big cats?
