Otter
I had some really close encounters with this male on a recent trip to Mull. I would watch him hunting just offshore and when he caught a large fish he had to bring it back to eat it. It is difficult stalking otters over slippery seaweed and care needs to be taken as a wrong move would disturb them. On this occaision he had caught a large flat fish and I spent over 15 minutes with him. Great fun to do.

Canon EOS 1D MkII, 500mm Lens, Beanbag, F8, 1/250, ISO Rating 200.
