I was down at the beach photographing waves in gale force conditions when i heard otters calling close by
a few seconds later i saw one, two, three then four otters heading for the foaming seaa mother with three young cubs that headed straight into high waves
it wasn't long before the young started to play with seaweed even though the mother called them over
I only had a 200mm lens but they didn't seem bothered and continued to go about their business
It was still play time and the mother c]kept coming back and calling for them to follow
It is good to have these back locally, i have seen them several times recently and they are always good to see. This is the first time I have seen four otters together, plenty of threes but no fours
The young finally followed the female and moved towards the jetty
The sea was still rough and foamy but they headed through without any problems
It was tricky for the young to climb up onto the jetty but had to wait until a wave came in and the mother dragged them in
They all moved off, so happy to see them
