Otter seen in Oostvaardersplassen
Updated: Saturday, 19 January 2013, 17:03
In the Oostvaardersplassen an otter has been seen for the first time. The animal was observed this week with a camera. According to the Forestry Department its presence is a tribute to the water quality in the Flevoland nature reserve.
Probably the animal came from the Weerribben, where ten years ago otters were set free. According to the Forestry Department, the arrival of the otter in Flevoland is due to the Ecological Network, a network of connections between natural areas.
In the Netherlands, about sixty otters live, especially in North-Western Overijssel and South-East Friesland.
September 2013. An elusive otter has been caught on camera at Steart in Somerset, where the largest new wetland nature reserve in the UK is being developed by the Environment Agency and the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust: here.

25-07-2013 | Otters rukken op in Lauwersmeer
Het Lauwersmeergebied heeft zich ontwikkeld tot een ruig stukje Nederland. De verstoring van de mens is hier minimaal en dat heeft geleid tot de komst van een aantal opmerkelijke diersoorten. Eerder melden we in deze nieuwsbrief al de geboorte van een paar jongen van de zeearend en nu blijkt dat ook de otter zich in dit gebied thuis begint te voelen.
Een medewerker van het Wetterskip Fryslan (Waterschap Friesland, voor niet-Friezen) is er in geslaagd camerabeelden te maken van twee otters. Volgens boswachter Liesbeth van den Berg bewijst deze aanwezigheid in het Nationaal Park Lauwersmeer dat de waterkwaliteit goed is en de natuurwaarden optimaal. Maar er liggen voor de otter ook gevaren op de loer: afgelopen mei werd er nog een doodgereden otter in het gebied aangetroffen. Dat betekent dat er aanvullende maatregelen genomen moeten worden om de otter een kans van slagen te geven. Te denken valt bijvoorbeeld aan de aanleg van ottertunnels en -richels onder bruggen en duikers.
