Otter

Three chough going bananas this afternoon announced the presence of this otter.

I've spent a lot of time on Oronsay trying to spot otters so views like this are really awesome - Managed to get this short video. Had the dogs with me so was trying to make sure they didn't disturb it.




"Aw please let me chase it"


These three chough were less than impressed with the otter and were mobbing it ferociously from the wall. 



The otter started going into rabbit warrens after it went over the hill. This surprises a lot of people, but otters will often hunt on land. I've seen them hunting around rabbit warrens a couple of times in the past month, very easy meal.
