Amazing Otter shots

I was just idling flicking through the ‘shedcam’ videos yesterday when I saw something really interesting. While we must quite literally have been sitting in the kitchen having our breakfast, a large otter suddenly shot across the camera’s field of vision and disappeared through the fence. I was super glad to see it again because it had not made an appearance on either camera since March and ‘pondcam’ is not great for night shots (there is too much life of the insect variety which generates a load of false positives).

A few mysteries however… What is it doing in the back garden? Why is it soaking wet when it is going to the river and not coming from it?

A thrilling sight though….
