Local verge.
Bright but cold. |
I'd heard of Otters locally, but hadn't yet seen any. Imagine my disappointment when I found this specimen lying at the roadside about 200m from my home. The nearest decent stretch of water would be about 2 miles from this spot. The specimen was largely undamaged, so I took time to examine those fascinating feet. The surprisingly thick webbing can just be seen at the lower edge of the upper foot. A sad find. |
