I know a lot of the WAB members are big Otter fans, so I think you'll enjoy one of the videos I captured last week on one of our cameras. I've got several very good clips during the recent snow, one of which was shown on BBC last Friday, and this is one of my favourites:

I'm getting a bird in a box

(edit, s'ok, I'm thick)

(further edit, that's excellent, what did you take the vids with?)

Glad you like it.
It's taken with a stealthcam prowler HD camera. The original film is better, as a bit of image quality is lost when converted.
I've been getting a lot of video of these and other Otters up here, over the past year or so, and I never tire of seeing them!

Thanks Lindsay, we use the videos to raise awareness of wildlife, and to promote conservation.
We also loan cameras to people who think they might have something interesting visiting their gardens at night, which is how the Raccoon was filmed.
