In those 40 years I have seen an otter just once: in Harris. So I am envious of your find. I am reading this two days after you wrote it so I hope that when I get to tomorrow you've had even more luck.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-32319235889105948632014-05-14T16:48:29.702+01:002014-05-14T16:48:29.702+01:00John, the fish man that comes here is poorly.

I have a little box WildCam thing but it eats batteries and without bait it is impossible to set up. It's no real hardship to sit by the river for an hour or so. When I shot this picture, I was sitting and waiting and heard a rustle in the leaf litter. I thought it was a Blackbird but it was a Stoat. I missed the little devil. It is dark in the bottom of the gorge here. I'm on ISO 800. Perhaps it's time to upgrade cameras or go somewhere brighter.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-23550861324294988092014-05-14T15:53:38.511+01:002014-05-14T15:53:38.511+01:00Bribery with fish is how Simon King gets otters to...Bribery with fish is how Simon King gets otters to show in the right place for his video streaming site.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-72754348085231784552014-05-14T15:13:50.910+01:002014-05-14T15:13:50.910+01:00Laura, es un hermoso lugar para sentarse y ver la ...Laura, es un hermoso lugar para sentarse y ver la nutriaADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-34790070592522169642014-05-14T10:18:44.864+01:002014-05-14T10:18:44.864+01:00Guapos muy guapos tus reflejos, sensacional el pue...Guapos muy guapos tus reflejos, sensacional el puente!!<br />Un abrazo.Laura.

I meant the crisp bags and what flavour.<br /><br />I'm sure that somewhere they smoke rabbit. There are all these posh little companies that supply squirrel, smoked duck, smoked almost anything edible even smoked cheese, I saw some and bought it. It came from up Graham's way and wasn't very nice. I finished it up on toast after a degenerate session in the pub. It still didn't taste nice but it took my mind off the graze I'd inflicted to my knee on the way home.ADRIANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07113961163396562781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8060152237863452651.post-41724547146770701592014-05-13T15:14:36.651+01:002014-05-13T15:14:36.651+01:00Bas, I see it every other day.
