There are a family of otters living at the estuary at Lunan Bay. Amongst other wildlife there.
Sadly they are at risk due to loose dogs regularly invading their habitat and people leaving litter near their den. These images were taken over a 48h period on 11-14 Apr 2021 using a wildlife camera. In these photos you can see the otters just outside their den and also roe deer.

The next day the camera automatically took images of three loose dogs on separate occasions, outside the otters den. The otters were most likely sleeping in there at those times. A bag full of dog faeces was found at the entrance to the otter’s den too.
We have contacted our local Access Officer at Angus Council and ScotWays and they recommend that to protect the flora, fauna and wildlife habitat all dogs must be kept on a lead at the river and estuary area at Lunan Bay, otherwise we’ll lose these stunning wild creatures. #respectprotectenjoyStrange Places in ScotlandNatureScotDog Friendly Angus and DundeeVisit AngusVisitScotlandBonnie Montrose
