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.

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

Many, many thanks to Kevin Loader for letting me know about these special little guys

Our latest star attraction.

Having seen at a distance a lone otter and then a mum and cub at our local jetty we were very pleased with our sightings.

Little did we know what was going to happen when we went into the local town.

This young dog otter was kind enough to provide us with over two hours of entertainment on consecutive days.

This shot has not been cropped as the otter came so close to me. I was actually concerned he would get onto the nearby road, but fortunately he turned round.

Whilst I still have several hundred pics of Ollie and Scar to publish, I have a suspicion this as yet unnamed young man will dominate my feed for sometime.

After laying in wait for this Shetland Otter to wake up I was a fully fledged bio hazard !

As part of my sabbatical Scotland tour I'm now on Mull. I was lucky enough to encounter this fine dog Otter on 2 occasions - he really did look to be in his prime and I'll be posting more of him from time to time.

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

Gotta love otters!

A favourite of mine from my time in Shetland - an Otter cub bursting through the seaweed on the search for crabs. He was successful, bringing in three crabs in about 15 minutes close to where we were.

Another shot of my new pal Ollie. He is a one otter demolition of the local marine life and can be seen catching a wide variety of prey.

Many thanks to all who drop by to view and fave my work.
