My wife says "Aw isn't that cute!"

I tend to agree, cracking shot.

One of the best nature shots I've seen on this site.
Best wishes,

I was dead lucky, we arrived on Arran on the Saturday and my Mrs spotted the Otter in the field next to our cottage that night.

I got up at 5am and spotted the Otter hunting in a bay near the cottage, I sat on a rock watching it hunt for about 1/2hour then couldn't believe my luck when it swam to shore right in front of me.

Not often it happens like that but it's nice when it does.
