Photographed at British Wildlife Centre

We spotted this otter early one morning during our last trip to the Isle of Mull in October.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

I am so addicted to these stunning animals!! They are such a joy to spend time with and photograph.

Quality 'me' time spent at British Wildlife Centre. I cannot recommend it enough for your mental health and wellbeing.

I waited patiently for a couple of hours in poor light and pouring rain watching this beautiful otter hunting close to the shore and was eventually rewarded with just a couple of photo opportunities. Worth getting very wet for!

Taken with a long telephoto lens + extender and then cropped so as not to disturb its natural behaviour.

Imagine 4 otter pups running all over the place with photographers following them. Quite a crazy time. They are so fast in the water and on land. Here they are on the boardwalk or trying to squeeze in.

Thanks so much for the visit!

Appalling light, but one of those special wildlife moments that money simply cannot buy

Another from my evening with the Otter, this time it had just caught a fish and was shaking it about, hence the water spray.

Who said otters don't climb trees?! See him? :)

Thanks so much for the visit!

Otters at the Dartmoor Otter Sanctuary in Buckfastleigh, South Devon. Quite a hot day when we visited and this pair really gave us a great show of how to swim underwater with ease!

The sanctuary rescues otters from the nearby River Dart and the coast, they do a brilliant job of getting these lovely creatures fit and well again.
