More otter pictures

It's not everyday you seen one of the UK's most elusive and hard to photograph animals, so here is a few more pictures of the three otters seen last week.
Bubbles in the water indicate that there is obviously something big swimming in the river:

A couple of nimble bodies break the water before diving below:

Then, possible sensing someone on the bank, the otters show themselves to have a look:

    Simply wonderful photos. You can almost hear their curiosity. "Eh? What's that?" "I don't know. Let's go have a look."*one swims over* "I still can't tell, can you?" *the other pops up* "Oh, bother. I think someone's seen us. There's a camera."

  3. Hi Suzanne,
    Welcome to my blog. I think that's what exactly happened. Having determined that I was not a threat, they swam off in such of food. Whist Mother swam over (see second photo below) just to make sure.
