They've been around every day for 2 weeks now, but been at work, or it's been too dark - days pretty short up here

I've just spotted your thread @Barney Da Dog. And I'm glad I did because they are lovely images. 👍

I expect they involved a lot of sitting around and waiting. Worth it though.

Can usually find Otters quite quickly, but need a bit of luck for decent photo opportunities
