Iv'e said this so many times before but wow, I cant believe I have not posted on my otter blog since end of January! As ever, it is always about time- lack of it- certainly not a lack of otters! This year is even busier than last year for otter photo tours and otter watching tours which you can read about here http://www.shetlandnature.net/otters/
I'm delighted again this season to have Josh Jaggard, (a fellow otter enthusiast from Norfolk) working with me as well as new to the SN team of guides, John Moncrieff- a native Shetland otter addict! Also continuing leading otter tours, Gary Bell and occasionally co-author of our Otters in Shetland book, Richard Shucksmith
So, although I'm not getting out at all with my own camera at the moment, here are a few images from over last few months from the rare few times I've been out on my own to shoot....
Early April; this mother and two cubs have now separated.
Back in late February; a family of three cubs which had separated by late March/April
One of the above three cubs.
Above and bellow; early April. one of two cubs, this family are still together and doing well.
