Lincolnshire's otters threatened by floods

Wildlife experts say recent flooding and heavy storms have badly affected the habitat of Lincolnshire's otter population.

High water levels have flooded their riverbank homes, or holts, while strong currents have led to pups being washed away from their mothers.

Dozens have been rescued in recent months, but it鈥檚 feared that they may be struggling to adapt to increased water levels caused by storms.
