Another successful day on Mull today we seam to have the measure of the otters at the moment. We are managing to get close to some of them getting some nice images. This is part of my preparation for my five day workshop here on Mull starting tomorrow (Friday). Its looking good so far.
We had a great experience this morning when one of the otters came into the shore directly in front of me. The otter was about six feet away from me behind a rock. It was so close I couldn’t focus the camera on it. Then it turned and slipped back into the loch.
Little fatty, the otter dries its fur on the seaweed
Otter alert
Swimming along
Chewing the fat, the otter eats his fish prize
