Starting to get fallow here now too and more otters. There's otters everywhere now all over on the Ribble/wyre and local canal someone filmed one killing a mallard sat on eggs then doing the young but the amount of people that say love otters they only eat fish is incredible they need thinning out Edited June 8 by Blackmag Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was only a matter of time before it had a run in with a kid or dog so it's a good thing it got shifted. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
