European Otter (Lutra lutra)

Too busy to get out much (and the weather and light have been desperate) so here's a European Otter from the files. PS: Reference some of the lovely comments below, I should make it clear that this is a captive animal. Sorry, I never wanted to claim any great fieldcraft to get the shot.

    Weathers looks to be picking up a bit in the next few days, lets hope for some light then :-)

    1. Hi Jeremy. Thanks for the kind comment, but I fear I don't deserve it. This was a captive animal; I would love to get this close in the wild.
