Picture of an Otter running across a beach in the fading light of the gloamingA nice bonus after watching an Islay sunset in November: In the fading light of the gloaming I spotted this Otter running over the beach in Saligo Bay. Unfortunately it disappeared behind the dunes fairly quickly and I didn’t see it again.
