With encounters like this I really do get lost in the moment, and I found that my heart was racing and I was out of breath. I had stopped breathing again. Watching Otters in the wild is a challenging experience but one that is exhilarating. The sense of satisfaction of being in their presence is one I'll never tire of.
In the space of two trips to Mull we had some amazing experiences with the Sea Eagles on Mull Charters in beautiful weather, and then one of the best Otter encounters I've had with the first Otter we found - not bad at all I'd say!
