An otter has been spotted for the first time at a “wilded” site on the Somerset Levels that used to be intensively grazed farmland.

The animal was captured by a night-time camera at Honeygar in the Avalon Marshes.

In a post on Facebook, Somerset Wildlife Trust said it was “excellent news” for the 81-acre site, which used to be a dairy farm.

The trust wrote: "We’ve now been managing the site for over two years, and vital monitoring work has been undertaken to help us build up a better picture of some of the different species in the area.
