Otters have been recorded in town and city centres for the first time in decades and in many northern cities for the first time since the Industrial Revolution. A survey for the Wildlife Trusts discovered evidence of otters in about 100 towns and cities, including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Belfast, Newcastle, Leeds, Derby, Norwich, Bristol, Canterbury and Cardiff. Otter populations have been recovering in many parts of Britain after water quality improved following privatisation of the water industry in 1989, but previous surveys found them only on city margins, 10-20 miles from the centre.
