The European otter (Lutra lutra) is widely recognised as an emblem for nature conservation in the UK because it is a top predator and an important biological indicator of the health of our rivers and wetlands. Monitoring the status of the otter therefore gives us a valuable measure of the state of our water and wetland ecosystems. In Wales as in much of the UK, it is a largely nocturnal animal and is rarely observed in the wild. It is however possible to detect its presence by searching for its distinctive droppings (spraints) and footprints. As part of a scheme to monitor the distribution of otters throughout the UK, six Welsh otter survey were carried out as follows:
1: 1977-1978
2: 1984-1985
3: 1991
4: 2002
5: 2009-2010
6: 2014 - 2018
