Otter - Lutra lutra
Canon 600mm f4.5 for 1/1250th @ iso400
Sheer contentment and enjoyment as the sun rises and warms the loch shore. The otter having spent the early morning catching crabs and small fish now cleans his fur and rubs himself dry in the seaweed, the vast swathes of bladder wrack exposed by the tide - I can confirm that it creates a comfy photography position albeit somewhat damp, nevertheless better than one of those pebble strewn beaches where the rocks and pebbles dig into every bone in your body !
