Otters just loving ‘De Banks’

LIKE the fox, it seems the otter is also adapting to living in urban areas, including Cork City where they are seen regularly at night on the River Lee.

It comes out mainly after dark, which probably explains why so many people, even denizens of the city, have never seen one.

We’re assured, however, they are in Cork, as evidenced by a recent call from the National Parks and Wildlife Service that an otter holt (burrow) be protected during an upcoming upgrade of the Dunkettle roundabout.
