The only wild otters I've ever seen was a pair in a lake in a park in the centre of Buenos Aires 
It seemed so unreal to see them completely relaxed and playing in the water, in what was a quite well cultivated park

Has anyone ever seen an otter in the wild?

Several sea otters off Monterey, California, doing the whole cracking shells with their paws things. Brilliant. Would love to see wild otters over here.

Saw one at Fowlmere RSPB last year, came out of the water and had a wash and brush up on the bank (alas no camera)
Also saw one in the Great Ouse just below the weir at St Ives, put the fear of god in a Heron as it came ashoreWe also had a resident seal a while back, frightened the life out of a mate when he was fishing, he said it looked like a black man's head popping up in the river

Apologies. I saw one in my local Indian, my fault, I asked for it to be a little hotter ......

In a similar vein: I've never seen a live badger, though sadly there are at least two flattened on the A68 at the moment.

Saw an otter on the River Dee in North Wales whilst kayaking last year, there was one of those moments where your brain tries to make sense of what you're seeing. It was on the river bank, ambling along in the sun and was an amzing natural sight to see.

I had a fantastic hour of otter watching, on the deserted coastline of Skye, between Glenbrittle and Coriust(sp?). The worst walk of my life, but the 2 otters that played in the rocks and seaweed 50 metres away from me for that hour made it all worthwhile.
You can sit on the balcony of the Watermans Arms in Pembroke and watch them swim past.
I've also seen them in the Bosherston Lily Ponds, middle of the day with 12 primary school kids in tow!Loads of badgers too, I've a bad feeling about this north pembs cull...
