We got off lightly in Storm Darragh compared with some places but after 24 hours of heavy rain and strong winds the water level had risen significantly - enough to affect the viewpoint of the cameras. Anticipating where the otters will be is hard enough at the best of times but this made it more difficult. This is another "if only" video, where it could have been much better. The otters were out of view of one camera and not quite in view of others which made it difficult to stitch together in editing. Added to that a reed was blowing in the wind, the camera supports were moving around and there was water on the lenses. This was the best I could do. It contains behaviour I haven't seen before, with one of the cubs grooming the back of its mother's head - she was very patient.
It's also another good example of how light from several cameras improves the night-time pictures.
