The Detectorists - A short film about otters and detection dogs.

Описание: Set against the serene backdrop of rural Wales, this short documentary follows wildlife ecologist Lee Jenkins and his two German Pointers—Neo and pup-in-training Cariad—as they search for elusive otters. Using scent detection to guide camera trap placement, the team gathers crucial evidence to protect these endangered animals. Shot from a dog’s-eye view with immersive cinematography, the film offers a poetic glimpse into conservation through the nose and eyes of a canine detective.

South Wales Otter Trust help to preserve the otter population in South Wales through study and education. Lee’s dogs, today, are used to aid in emergency otter rescues to reduce disturbance and help support otters in need, with years of training behind them. We urge dog owners to take care of their dogs in and around rivers for the safety of both your dogs and the wildlife that lives there.
