OTTER!!!! we have had otters occasionally visiting the reserve where I volunteer for several years now and one has taken up residence again in the last couple of weeks. I managed to see it just after dawn last Monday morning (22nd September), photos weren't brilliant but at least I got some as I watched it fishing for about 10 minutes...
