Otter Picture needed

Hi Everyone,
Looking for some help with an Otter Picture, i have been watching a couple of otter for almost a year now and looking for some pictures so i can advertise that i have a hide built for people to come see the otters.

I am able to get the otters to within 4ft from the hide, but because i am no photographer and its always late in the evening, i need a couple of pictures i can use to make up a flier.
I dont need anything fancy just a couple of pic's that are good enough to print.
Since building the hide i have had otters most nights and ospreys diving and taking fish 30ft from the hide early morning.
Any help would be greatfully appreciated, please send to speycaster1@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks Gordon.

What sort of area are you in? You need to be very careful when advertising where wildlife is as some people have other motives.

Hi dogghound,
Its not possible to get access to the Otters without me letting people in, i dont advertise where the hide is only my contact details.
I have made sure that the otters cannot be seen and are perfectly safe before i even build the hide, it has taken me a year to get everything in place and its only now i want to let people see them and its very small scale, two or three people on a couple of nights a week.
These Otters are inland and not on the coast, and the hide is 5 mins from my house in the Highlands.
Thanks Gordon.

Ive got a number of otter shots, but if you are going to use them commercially (ie charge people for access to the hide) i'd want payment

Why can't you offer to refund someone entry if they provide you a decent image?

Hi eeyore,
Thanks but will have to pass on your offer, i am doing this small scale and only charge £20.00 per night guided, i have a good friend that does lots of wildlife photography in the Highlands, Wild Guide Photography - Keith Collins so will get him to come take some pictures, seems like it will be easier, i have lots of otter movie footage but no pictures.
Thanks anyway.
Gordon.
