Otter Sighting Delights Milford Residents:
Captured on Camera Near Medieval Milford Bridge
MILFORD, 5th December, 2023 - An elusive otter was recently caught on camera near the medieval Milford Bridge. The footage was captured by local resident Alan Crooks as he crossed the historic bridge.
The otter's appearance can be attributed to our ongoing efforts to enhance the ecological health of the River Bourne. Recent initiatives included cutting back overgrown foliage, reinstating berms, and removing debris to improve the water flow in the area.
This work has created an ideal environment for the otter to thrive, turning that section of the Bourne into a perfect spot for the playful creature to feed and explore.
MAPG has been active in promoting environmental conservation and biodiversity in the region and we are hopeful that the otter's presence is a sign of a thriving and sustainable ecosystem in the heart of Milford.
