On Saturday...
Dec. 8th, 2008 07:04 pm...I was walking along the coast, hoping to photograph the sunset. (I did that, too.)
I saw something swimming some way off; and I watched two otters swim to the shore, climb onto the rocks and feed, before swimming off again.
I have seen otters from hides on a nature reserve before, but I have never seen them truly wild. I was incredibly excited - this was as good as watching golden eagles. I have been visiting this bit of coast for perhaps 25 years - and have never seen otters before, although the people I was staying with told me there are a fair number of sitings on this bit of the coast. I'm going back for New Year, so I shall keep my eyes open!
