    Otter at the Stour

    The otters have been very visible for the last week or so but i have always been in the wrong place and time until yesterday, when, this one was on the bank opposite the outfall

      Well captured Stan, never seen one in the wild.

        Nice shot Stan. I know you can get better photographs at BWC but you can't beat seeing and photographing a wild one.

          Nice one Stan, well caught and such a natural looking shot. Agree with John BWC ones never look natural set against a green grass BG.

              thanks for looking guys

              I know you can get better photographs at BWC but you can't beat seeing and photographing a wild one.
              when you visit BWC you know you will get shots of the otters especially when they are fed twice a day but as Trev says they never look quite natural so as always a wild shot is better although much more difficult

                We all have our reasons for togging and all are valid, I prefer taking shots in the wild, the stalk is part of the day out, but I do take images of captive animals too.

                  quite agree, there are many animals i will never have the opportunity to see in the wild, for example lions, tigers, leopards etc so zoos are the only option but when shooting them i always try to ensure thy look as natural as possible without the telltale signs of fences etc in the background

                      You do have to accept that "going wild" can mean a shot that maybe isn't quite what you hoped for. Example will be Red Deer, I cannot get as close as in a deer park, the Deer are stalked up here and not just by folk with a Canon, most carry large caliber rifles.
                      An example of a nearly shot, I will have to get there earlier and see if I can get closer
