Basking Otter

A very memorable trip to Scotland in January 2018.  Id spent the morning out with my camera on a kayak spotting otters, sea eagles and being followed by seals.  When we got back to the harbour and were clearing away the kayaks the otter that had been following us started fishing in the bay in front of us.  The sun was really low which made it really hard to balance the exposure of these shots but this one in particular is still one of my best images from the trip and the A2 print looks superb in pride of place on the wall in my living room and a reminder.
