Those otters were on the move.
They were swimming with purpose.
They had enjoyed those smallish fish,
but now they are going down stream.
Previously they had been in a beck.
They had been playing in little pools.
It had been pleasant and good fun,
but then it had been time to stride on.
Leading, like she would, she beckons.
The three almost grown-up pups were alert.
They could see they were getting closer,
since this is the proper river, and what will they find?
Soon they were there; where should we choose?
They all looked around along the bank.
But it didn’t take long, fortunately,
and, of course, Mister Otter was back!

Otters are wonderful creatures. We were very lucky to see a group of them in Scotland by one of the lochs. We had a chalet for a week for several friends and every morning the landlady would knock on the door to make sure that we all had seen them.

It was so unexpected. We never cross a bridge without we look into the water. And there was my camera already in hand. Fortunate indeed
