AKA-BRINDLE 879 Posted July 12, 2008 Report Share Posted July 12, 2008 Have had 3 sightings of Otter along the river Yare in Norfolk in the last 6 years...first time my old dog disturbed them in reeds on the river bank heard them go in but didnt seem em at first but could see from all the bubbles it was something big couldnt belive it when a dog and then a bitch surfaced to give us a look!...i was so shocked i rang the wife on the mobile to tell her...(she wernt that impressed!)...was crossing a dyke off the yare by a bridge made of railway sleepers and had one swim right under us!...beutiful creatures!...was told recently that they have been seen off the river Thurne in the heart of the broads...they will thrive there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
