Over the past couple of months we have been seeing otters on an almost weekly basis, outside the Falls of Clyde Visitor Centre windows! I have worked for the Scottish Wildlife Trust for just over 4 years and I can safely say I have never seen them as often, here or anywhere else. Otters can be very quiet elusive creatures and I am sure there are times when they pass our windows and we never even notice. Who knows they might be out there right now!
Often at this time of year they will alert us to their presence with a call that sounds very much like a squeaky wheel on a bike. These are the cubs, calling for their mother to come and give them some food. For the past few years our female otter has managed to raise two cubs. Often they will be on the bank side calling while she is in the water catching a tasty trout for them to eat.
Seeing the signs of otters is far simpler than seeing the animals themselves. Along riverbanks and waterways, look for five-toed footprints (about 6-7cm long) and droppings or ‘spraints’. Otters leave spraints in prominent places, such as fallen trees, weirs and bridges, as ‘scented messages’, helping them to find mates and defend territories. They contain visible fish bones and have a distinctive, pleasant smell, reminiscent of Jasmine tea!

Although it’s not the easiest time of year to spot wildlife, in the past month we have also seen a badger, sparrowhawk, dippers, a raven, a variety of woodland birds and footprints from roe deer and foxes. We have also seen snowdrops and I’m sure over the next few weeks other wildflowers will begin to bloom as well.

For much of this time a pair were observed in Loch Goil, until they disappeared a couple of weeks ago. A few days later, what was presumably the same pair were seen at the mouth of the Clyde, near Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae, and it was hoped this was the pair now leaving the area. However, since then five whales have been spotted in separate locations in the Loch Long area and have entered some of the smaller lochs nearby, where they have remained. Our team, with support from local residents and the MOD, have been working hard to keep up routine monitoring of the animals and trying to prevent disturbance to them through education and awareness on the ground.
Northern bottlenose whales are a deep-diving species of cetacean normally found off the edge of the continental shelf to the West of the UK and Ireland. It is very unusual for them to be in coastal waters, however we have had similar incidents in recent years where animals of the same species have entered lochs, including Loch Long, that have subsequently left of their own accord without intervention, and presumably have succeeded in returning to their proper habitat.
Discovering The Firth Of Clyde
We recently became aware that a significant military exercise is due to begin next week, and as whales are particularly sensitive to underwater sound, have been concerned about the effect it may have on the animals. Therefore in consultation with colleagues at Whale and Dolphin Conservation and Hebridean Whale and Dolphin Trust, the decision has been made to attempt to herd the animals out using a number of boats in formation to get them back to open sea. This will be a very carefully planned operation carried out under our licence from NatureScot for exactly this type of situation where we need to try to move free swimming cetaceans to safety.
This of course does come with risks of its own and there is no guarantee it will be successful given the depth of water and distance that needs to be covered, so will be undertaken with as much care as possible. We will of course reassess our actions and options if the whales decide that they will not go.We are very grateful for all of the support the team has had from the local residents and boat operators who have offered their assistance with this as well as the MOD, they will be joining the rescue boat coming in from Fife to carry out this operation tomorrow. All we can do for now is wish everyone involved the very best and hope for a positive outcome.Charlene Kerr emailed Glasgow Live to tell us she had noticed the animal enjoying an early swim today in the south-east area of the waters.
Delighted, Charlene took a couple of snaps of the seal as she was walking near the Cuningar Loop between Dalmarnock and Rutherglen.

The cheeky chappy popped its head out of the water and looked right at the camera, seemingly happy to be enjoying a dip in the tidal waters.
It’s not the first time a seal has been spotted in the Clyde - but it’s a rare sight, and we’re glad Charlene was able to catch the creature on camera.
