Otters have recently been sighted by walkers in the River Tamar at Gunnislake.

Local residents who have spotted the otters on the banks of the river have done so between Newbridge and the weir, often at sunrise or sunset as they are nocturnal. This is the first time otters have been sighted on this stretch of the river in many months. One Gunnislake resident heard them before seeing them and others have recommended walking both slowly and quietly around the area for the best chance of catching a glimpse of them.
