Great shot. The movie stars could take a cue from this guy…he doesn’t mind one bit that you’re photographing him while he eats his dinner – Geez, he even posed for you! LOL. Cheers, s.
Lol! He didn’t seem that concerned about my presence Sandra but he kept his eyes on me…I dont think he was prepared to share!! Thanks so much for your kind comments!

Marvellous capture Martin..!!!….Is he concerned at your presence?
No Meg, he didn’t seem at all concerned and just carried on feeding whilst I photographed him. There were three other otters, I assume all the same family, quite close by and they were all interacting with each other. Thank you very much for your kind comments!
