Young Otter with Cable Tie Around It's Neck.

I've been to Ferry Meadows most mornings this week and captured a few videos and pictures of a young Otter, but today I was lucky enough to get some close up shots and was really saddened to see a black plastic cable tie around it's neck.

I'm pretty certain it's the same otter, so the cable tie has only recently gone around his neck.

The Park and the RSPCA have been notified so I'll update this post when I have news that he has been freed.

 I went for my usual Boxing Day walk today and was amazed to see this baby otter fishing! I followed him around Overton Lake for nearly an hour and saw some wonderful sights of him. 

There is a family of four swimming around ( I saw a big one last week) so I'll definitely be back to try and get another glimpse of these incredible animals!
