Encouraging otters or not?
Published: Monday, 11 February 2019
IT WOULD seem that the Canal & River Trust cannot make its mind up about otters.
In the latest 'Boaters Update', 8th Feb, CaRT are seeking volunteer otter spotters in the West Midlands, writes Rodney Hardwick.
To protect habitat
This is part of a survey to help protect the animals' habitat.
I would suggest to anyone finding signs of otters DO NOT inform CaRT as its response to otters at Napton was to build a fence between the canal and reservoir to prevent them accessing the fish.
