They certainly get around Stew, I read somewhere that they can travel miles in a night, lots of commercial fisheries that aren't too far from running water are also having to put otter fencing up, Hawford, Cobhouse etc. An otter that finds a commie must think all his Christmasses have come at the same time on venues like those.
Mink have been on the loose for donkeys years now though, I think their numbers have 'levelled out' a little, let's hope the same happens with otters.
I do think life moves in circles though to be honest, back in the 80's and 90's, there was a huge demise in perch, and now they are back with a vengeance, I watched dozens of them the other night on the Severn chasing fry. Chub also seem to be on the increase now, currently it seems to be the turn of the barbel to suffer a decline.
