CCTV footage from Andy Rowbottom has revealed a brazen-faced otter trying to get in to his fish pond at his home in Church Stretton.
It comes after Andy noticed a Koi had gone missing from his pond one morning, so decided to do some detective work to catch the culprit.
Andy put a polycarbonate sheet across the pond and placed planks of wood over the top to stop the animal trying to get in.
He then carefully placed a CCTV camera over the top, which unveiled the shocking night-time antics of an otter.
