Very glad we haven't got them then!
I re-read Ring of Bright Water and it got me plotting for some semi-wild otters here  :D - but then i decided that they might like eating ducks and chicken as much as provided fish and that maybe we'd fall out. If some came and took up residence on our beck you'd just have to be honoured and work around them - but maybe i don't need to acquire some  :)

We have a big rat problem, and they definitely share the same places as mice. Horrible.

We have hares and rabbits.
sounds amazing but definately true- I once watched a rabbit chase a hare off!

We have far more hares than rabbits, but we do have both. Also have mice and rats!
