I'm not the only one waiting around for those otters. This chaps territory coincides with the otters and he can nearly always be seen at some point in my wait. It is actually a good indicator as he is often the first to spot any otter upstream of my position and will often follow it down, presumably in the hope of picking up some scraps.

I like the moody atmosphere you have achieved here, shooting through the branches. This is of course reflected by the haunched stance of the bird. I wonder if you could have moved to the right a little to place the bird off centre?
Unfortunately Ian I was sat behind some scrim netting on a steep little bank, both feet in the water and my n--ts up against a tripod leg so any movement was out of the question !!

Watch those crown jewels Robert! Image fine as is for me. Hope to see a heron & otter in the same shot soon.
