Otters have been reported at Pennington Flash for a few years now but they're
very rarely seen. I visit the flash almost daily but I've only had one
previous sighting which lasted about 5 seconds. Today I was amazed to see an
otter at the western end fishing for almost one hour. Occasionally it caught a
small fish and would lie on it's back in the water eating it and then start
fishing again, until finally it came up with a large eel which it took to the
shore to eat, sadly out of view for me. Even in Scotland I've rarely had views
so good. Possibly the highlight of the year at the flash for me.
