Ah that’s lovely.

You just reminded me of a film I used to watch as a kid; ‘ring of bright water’ I think it was called.

Nope the otter was called midge. It’s an old film. 1960s I think.

Lovely to live near wildlife like that.... not sure there’s much in the Manchester ship canal!

That’s a shame but suppose a lot of people don’t like slimy things.

I think I was just an odd kid. I’d play with spiders in the house and give them names. I was really upset when my mum made me throw Colin out!

My sister had slow-worms in her garden they were ace! I’d never seen them before. They look like snakes

The only legal way is to fence them out, but that wouldn't be possible on the huge waters that Norman fish's. It cost me 10k to fence my lake.
Otters are lovely creatures but there have been way too many breed and released into the wild. They used to be hunted many years ago to keep their numbers under control but they're now a protected species.

If that b*d thing is on your fishery Norm you've got problems.
They're causing carnage all over the country, killing loads of fish, birds and other mammals.
