We've never actually seen otters at Bear Mead, but
we often see tracks in the mud and occasionally droppings
which might be otters. Anyone who knows about these
things please contact 
and send me your
opinion.
Hi John,
This is the reply I've had from my friend at Dorset Wildlife Trust.
Looks like they could be otter. Only way to know for sure is to sit
very early in the morning or at dusk and see if you can see them.

Hard to tell from the photos but I'd say that 12 & 13 were otter
– probably dog otter. I'd expect them to be even larger.
The earlier ones look too small for otter but may be young ones.
Photo 7 isn't otter spraint and 14 doesn't look much like the ones
I get – too few obvious fish bones – but this could be differences in diet.
