Just for the Record.................

This was taken from along way away,as I am sure you can see,and I have cropped it quite a lot. While I was on the Isle of Staffa,which is a one hour boat trip from Mull I was watching an Otter fishing about 200 feet below me,and as he moved further out to sea there was a small flock of Puffin's,which moved every time the Otter got to close,any how he made a dive and then came up with some thing white,and on checking with the bins I could see it was a Puffin.He tried to pluck it, but after about 5 mins he gave up and just left it.A Fulmer then found it about half an hour later, and managed to get a meal off it,so not a complete waste,but I would never have guessed that an Otter would kill a Puffin........
Stewart..................

Why not?
They are carnivores. Just ask anyone who trys to keep ducks near to a holt

Absolutely - at the end of the day they are basically giant ferrets

I would think that would have made for some interesting underwater filming. Interesting shot Stewart, we don't often see them killing something cuddly.

That's an interesting bit of behaviour that I would love to have seen Stewart.
