- Abstract
The article focuses on the Eurasian otter Lutra lutra that was detected at the reintroduction site of the northern clade pool frog Pelophylax lessonae in Norfolk, England in 2010 and 2011. It says that during a night-time survey of amphibians, an adult otter was detected in one pond on March 26, 2010. It mentions that three spraints were discovered nearby the ponds, which were used by pool frogs and support the populations of sticklebacks particularly Pungitius pungitius and Gasterosteus aculeatus. Moreover, the three detected spraints are discussed.
