Mull - Loch Na Keil Otter

A real surprise was at Loch Na Keil today was this dog Otter which ran across the road and proceeded to munch a few crabs and fish on the shore......



The Oyk is a useful clue as to the size of this brute!




running / swimming from one patch of seaweed to another....


Another fish about to go down the hatch!


The seaweed strewn rocks are clearly a haven for quite sizeable crabs and the otter know that!


Adeptly managing to avoid getting nipped? An occupational hazard!


I didn't try to approach - enjoying the moment at a comfortable distance and not spooking him in the process :-)


There should be a White-tailed Eagle in the frame tomorrow?
