A CURIOUS otter has been filmed climbing a wall and diving in the River Severn in Worcester.

In the video, the otter can be seen climbing the wall at the Bilford Bottom Lock, before taking a dive that would make Tom Daley proud back into the water.

The footage was captured by X user, formerly known as Twitter, @NorthsideDan on Thursday, November 2.

According to Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, otters can often be found while taking a stroll along a river or canal in Worcestershire.

There is likely to be more activity during the first few hours of darkness around inland waterways, with otters often swimming with only their heads visible and dull red eyeshine.
