Most of my cameras are positioned on a short trail where the otters go in and out of the water but it is also where they are repeatedly scent marking. It tells them who is about and they sniff every time, even if they don't leave a message. They often sniff the camera as well, just to check it is mine. Here they are going back down into the water in daylight. As usual, the smaller one isn't keeping up.
And here is the dog, calling in to check his messages.
The otters more often turn up on the cameras at night. Here the cubs are both keeping up with mother as they get out of the water but the smaller one is lagging behind again when they return.
There has been plenty of otter activity recently. More news to follow.
Great pix and videos Chris.
