Otters

What a thrill! I had heard reports that otters had been spotted at the reserve, but this is the first time I have been lucky enough to see them. Daughter #2 and I watched a mother and two youngsters trotting back and forward across a frozen stretch of the lake for more than five minutes. Although the light was in our faces, I still managed to get some pleasing backlit shots.
