Otters in the water

3 otters swimming across the bay again this morning: 

….which reminds me of this song by Harvey Andrews, a folk singer who often played support to rock bands in England in the 70s.

Otter swim past

Sat at my desk this morning, I noticed some unusual ripples in the bay. My immediate thought was porpoises (nise) but they were in shallower water than I’ve ever seen porpoises and they moved up and down quicker too. It was only after studying the video that I realised they were otters, probably 4 of them, a family group! N

Slowed down:

 

 

Full moon fjord ice and the otter

A less obvious result of the full moon is drifting ice on the fjord, resulting from unusually high tide releasing ice from the shoreline and floating out into the fjord, here in a long band!

…and I spotted an otter on one of these pieces of ice back at the end of February 2010
