You can't put a price on Carpyness! I'd pay the extra all day 👍😄

I can imagine it is pretty difficult to put a figure on it as they have such large territories and sightings aren't that commonplace. An otter seen in one place could be seen a few kilometres away the next day but if there are no distinguishing features how do you identify it's the same one or a different one? I'd say that the do-gooders dont want to even guess numbers as the need to release them and rehab them will be gone due to how many there are. Better for them there are no numbers so there can be no argument for or against them.

problem is most of the releases are illegal!! there is 1 licensed rehab centre in the UK which is allowed up to 20 releases a year...they released only 7 in 2018... the figures for it will be publicly available or obtainable through an FOI request.

The big mistake was doing it in front of other people. Trap it, cage it, then 'remove it' later as I believe the law allows. Justice at the moment is on the side of greenies in most cases, with one big exception of HS2. There are some organisations who receive 100% help from CPS, some of which is totally misaimed. I have seen the RSPCA get prosecutions pushed through for very dubious cases. I find it maddening that the UK Wild Otter Trust or any other nature group has no figures on how many otters there are in the wild. You can pretty much guarantee that we know nationwide approximately how many deer there are in any particular area, yet we don't know how many otters.

Delkim ST alarms with Att dongles and receiver. Century and Rod Hutchinson Rods, both with Shimano reels, TFG Oval brolly and Overwrap, Fox landing net, Solar P1 pod, JRC bedchair, Wychwood sleeping bag and a Carp Porter. Whatever suits my fishing, any camp...

Different colour and more expensive lol.

You would be amazed whats in it though, 😁 Really annoyed by the noddy hand and that leaf , kept wriggling so much it was just a case of trying to get a pic and get it back in the end

Cracking roach 😎

See there is a news story going round about a fishery owner getting a jail sentance for removing an otter from his lake. Fishery boss, 54, who shot and killed protected otter in front of horrified campers after the animals kept eating £40,000 carp is jailed for two months in landmark case He was jailed for two months by a judge at Bournemouth Crown Court. Afterwards Dave Webb, founder of the UK Wild Otter Trust, said it was the first case of its kind in the UK and he was 'over the moon' with the outcome. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8088909/Barbaric-fishery-boss-54-killed-protected-otter-horrified-campers-jailed.html ??

not according to Dave Webb.... he says it's too risky to chip them all as they don't respond well to the anaesthetic. If they were chipped then they'd be easy to track and get numbers and distributions...even evidence they visit your fishery and are causing the damage!
