On Sunday Mull Otter Group volunteers helped with the installation of roadside reflectors in an effort to reduce otter RTAs. This is a work in progress as we trial them for the first time on Mull. With over 25 otter deaths on our roads each year, we are hopeful that if they are successful we will install them in other areas where otters have been killed by vehicles.
The reflectors work by reflecting the light from oncoming vehicles at right angles into the eyes of any otter who maybe contemplating crossing the road.
