Well not quite, but these moorhens are constantly going around picking up any scraps left by the otters. Not that the otters leave much behind. I have never seen such voracious eaters.
1/80th @ F5 iso 1600 . . . luxury I actually had a little bit of light for a change.

cropped for composition and to accentuate the moorhens.
And for those who may have thought that the hide I pictured on my last post may have looked a bit spartan, here is the view from the front. It is a bit rough and ready but it does work.
Robert i do like the interesting bits to your story,ie the moorhens and a look at your hide also your resulting image's are getting better all the time.,great capture.

Good to see a photo of the setup, and the Pembrokeshire vultures! I didn't realise moorhens would scavenge in that way.

Nice to see your office, Robert ! Plenty of detail in the large image. Well done.

Very relaxed otter Robert and your excellent camo netting certainly works! I see the plant life is starting to grow now, I guess the green stuff will provide cover for the otters in the coming months and also frustrate you too! What is it eating......roach or rudd?

Nick, I'm not very knowledgeable on fish but I believe they are Rudd.
