Went Sunday and Monday to catch the otters and secondary target the PCB which seem to have been here for 4-5 months now. Glad you got them and wonderful that so many now look for the wildlife we have about us.

Thanks for the comments. I have been after a shot of these for a while. Working in the forest always helps with regards to wildlife photography.
