Spent a week on Mull back in May and got some great opportunities to get close to some Otters, Had to wait a good few hours to get this close but it was worth it. This is the female Otter which had a cub. I will post one of them both together in my next upload.

Thanks for all of your comments on my previous upload.

Beautiful work, the foreground weed has such a lovely shape and texture complementing the otter perfectly.

Dont know if you are aware but this was in the camp site reception at Craignure.
I called here having been tipped off that Otters were performing well on the rocky shoreline.
Of course no such luck when I was there.
