The Springwatch team are joined by fieldcraft experts Simon King and Charlie Hamilton James for an in-depth view of one of the UK's most charismatic yet enigmatic animals - the otter.

The team bring you the very latest scientific discoveries as well as a review of the turbulent history of the otter in the UK.
