Otters were once a common sight in British rivers but suffered a decline in the 1970s due to the pesticides then used in farming. These have now been withdrawn and the otter is making a remarkable come back. That said, they’re secretive and swim low in the water so are hard to spot!

With its beady eyes and prehensile tail (which it wraps around a stem for balance), it’s a great favourite here at Bee Eater HQ!

Hares, with their large hind legs and distinctive long, black-tipped ears, can run at up 45 mph when escaping danger. The females are known for their spring-time boxing. When the attentions of the male are unwanted and subtler communications don’t hit the spot, the female will make clear her disinclination for his attentions, and will resort to physical means if necessary!
