Otter

[SamFisher]

I spent a while on Sunday morning in the company of our local Otter.
Stealth was the order of the day and I was soaked lying in the cold, wet grassy riverbank but it was so worth it.
At times he was too close to focus on and in the end I just lay there and enjoyed his antics.
Oh how we suffer for our art :-)
Theres another 3 images on my Flickr photostream if you care to look.

Re: Otter

Hi Mike, respect to you for getting a wild one - I tend to stick to captive at the moment - never even seen a wild one!

Great he's local, but you never know when and where he'll be, I guess!

Thanks for posting, Mike.

Re: Otter


Me thinks that these were well worth laying in damp grass for.
