Description

Otters are charismatic and enchanting animals, with universal appeal, but most people will never see one in the wild.

Leighton Moss is one of the best places in England to connect with these elusive creatures, although even here it is unusual to see one out of the water.

More typical would be a tantalising glimpse of a distant head or tail disappearing into the reedbed. Yet in this unique and revealing book are mesmerising fi rst-hand accounts of many close and intimate encounters, collected over a decade of almost daily observations.

With fascinating insight and attention to detail, patiently and quietly observing and recording, Elaine Prince follows the fortunes of eight families of otters as they mate, hunt, play and raise their young.

The result is this engaging and invaluable volume, which contributes significantly to our knowledge and will delight anyone who loves otters and the natural world in general.
