I’m still trying to get over the excitement of the otter discovery last sunday and I promised I would look to post a couple more images (see The Long Wait is Over for the original post).
So here are some images of the playful otter and its peaceful habitat up in the wilds of North Cork, Ireland. Again the images are not the best and heavily cropped (I only had one fixed lens on me), but such is the thrill of witnessing the animals let me share them with you.

This weekend it is off to Wicklow, the garden of Ireland. Whatever you are doing have a great weekend yourself.

What a thrill, and although the pictures may not be what you would have liked they have a charm of capturing a wild creature doing its thing in the wild. I personally love them.
