Lewis Alp wrote: “My work is situated on Breydon Water in Cobholm and during our morning tea break I spotted an otter in the water and whilst watching, it came up and sat on the river wall pruning itself.
“I managed to get a few photos. I would like to share them. I have seen footprints on a number of occasions so it would seam that it’s a common place for the offer to return to.”
While M Pillar said in an email: “Walking along Gorleston riverside at Darby’s Hard I saw an otter in the river close to the shore. Initially I thought it to be a seal but seeing the brown fur and the strong tail arcing as it dived under the water, I realised it was an otter.
“I watched it from a few yards away for some time, it disappearing every few minutes to find food then surfacing to chew. Quite an experience to see this unusual creature.”
