They're cute.
The badgers are pretty sweet too.

Badgers!
2nd cutest native British animal.

Cutest is otters. I've had the rare privilege of watching a family of otters meet, mate (didn't actually see any shagging) produce cubs and watched them grow up.

All from a curiously enlightened farmer who owned the stretch of water. The water was a prime fishing beat - up to 250 quid a day per rod to fish there. Most farmers would illegally get rid of the otters ( OK - kill) as they ate a fair amount of his fish. This guy's attitude was that he's rather see an otter take a fish than some fat bastard from London.

Cheers

@Legless
I like the farmer's attitude. Most of the pleasure from fishing is the fact that you get close to wildlife as it goes about it's routine.

I saw a field full of Alpacas when I last went fishing (I kid you not).

In Essex.
