AN adorable otter has been spotted in Warrington enjoying some quiet time in the sun.

Martin Berry was walking around Sankey Valley Park with his wife and two children during their restricted daily exercise session earlier this week.

He spotted two otters who were taking a break from the water to soak up the sunshine.

Martin explained: "One quickly went but the other stayed around and I managed to get a video of it.

"These are really rare and not often seen in the daytime.

"I've only ever seen one before now on all of my extensive countryside travels around the UK.

"It's a big surprise to have these here in Warrington."
