More Otters

After my initial sighting of the otter family on the lower river Lune I was keen to return. I have made three visits since but sightings have only occurred once.This was on my second visit and I was fortunate to see the otters fishing and eventually returning to their bankside holt.The otters were in a different part of the river and were downstream in a long, deep and slow moving section of the Lune. The very nice Autumn weather continued and the colours on the trees made for some nice landscape shots.The otter family were busy catching fish,mostly eels and can be seen in the images below with what is I believe their favourite food.I followed the family back upstream to their holt and was treated to the sight of them coming out of the water.This gave me the opportunity to grab more images as they made their way home after a successful morning's fishing.Subsequent visits have drawn a blank but I am sure I will catch up with them again in the weeks to come. Meanwhile hope you enjoy my images of these lovely wild otters living happily on the River Lune.
