Mammals - The Otter

First seen on Saturday 14th February 2026 at Cragside

The Otter is rare in the UK, but is slowly making a comeback and can be seen in more and more places, although not easy to see. They are quite large (60-80cm) and feed mainly on fish plus other water creatures. This one was in both Nellys Moss Lakes (on two separate occasions).
