Eurasian Otter I

Lutra lutra

Unst, North Shetland, is one of the best places to photograph Eurasian Otters, and February is one of the best times to do it. Otters are very territorial, and the first task is locating them! After three unsuccessful days, on day four I was fortunate to enjoy the company of a female Otter and two cubs close to their holt. They were oblivious to my presence and gave me the opportunity to capture some great behavioural images.
