Most of July was spent on the Isle Of Mull, so it's of no surprise that this month's image comes from there. During the first Photography Tour, we observed a quite remarkable family of otters, in that the mother had successfully raised three cubs.
I have often seen family groups of two otters, and sometimes three, with a mother and two cubs, but this is a first for me, and was a truly magical experience, and one that our four clients will I am sure treasure as much as we (guides) do.
We had to be ultra conservative with taking shots on such a calm day, and lie perfectly still while the family group groomed and briefly played in front of us, before they slipped off, back into the loch once more, moving as a family group along the shore.
