According to Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, otters are social animals which are likely to be more active during the first few hours of darkness around inland waterways.
Otters have been spotted several times in water around the city and have greeted excited onlookers on many occasions.
The otter swims with only its head visible, and its eyeshine is a dull red.
