otter and octopus

[crieffy]

First time in 30ish years I've seen this

I had just taken my new 105mm macro lens out for a play, when I saw this otter battling with a lively octopus. I had literally 5 seconds to get the shots with the octopus in it's mouth. The images are quite cropped - just kicking myself I didn't have a longer zoom fitted:bonk:

After an occasion last year when I saw a family of four otters, and had no camera, I vowed never to let it happen again
