Then along come two... missed opportunities
This is really taking the mickey. How often is it you see a wild otter in daylight (south of Scotland) let alone two. Pretty rare opportunities indeed and on this day there were actually three of them. These two just didn't intend having their picture taken! Unless of course they were auditioning for the Synchronized Swimming team !!

300mm lens
1/250 @ f4.5
iso 400.
