A hungry otter has been filmed devouring thousands of pounds worth of fish in a Worcester back garden.
The crafty mammal is thought to have eaten more than 100 Koi carp in retired teacher Kieran McCarthy’s pond.
The devastated 68-year-old branded himself ‘cheesed off’ at the animal eating 106 of his fish – worth around £7,000 – over five days this month.
Video footage shows the furball sneak into the garden despite Mr McCarthy trying to shoo it away – and shelling out £140 on chicken wire.
Having kept the fish for years, he suspected an otter of being behind the disappearances after finding a stripped down carcass by the side of one of his two ponds in St John’s.
