Otter prints on Kilchoman beach, Isle of Islay

I’ve only ever seen an Otter at Kilchoman beach once (but several times in neighbouring Saligo Bay), although there are plenty signs they are around, like these prints in the sand.

Unfortunately it disappeared behind the dunes fairly quickly and I didn’t see it again.
