Had a day at Chester Zoo, so I am going to bore you all with numerous shots.
The weather was mainly overcast with a few spots of the sun.

You look like you must have reasonably close to these, the detail is great!

These blow my otter shot away....Love it. Were you that close? I was out in the open and I know they can be very agressive so I stayed my distance. Nice....Love them.

Love the last one for its "human portrait" quality. How often do you get a "wild" animal to look straight at the camera like that?

Very nice indeed, it may sound a bit strange, but I love the feet in the first shot. It's not very often you actually get to see otters feet. You can see why they are so dexterous.

I believe "Otters feet weekly" did not sell well in the shops.:lol:

Otters are cute. Nice shots. I think #1 is my favorite because it show the complete body of the otter.
