Towards the end of this morning's walk I was sitting on the bench near Dunrobin Castle checking the birds - gulls, cormorants and one or two rock pigeons - which roost at low tide on the rocky spit below the castle when I noticed a dark bump on one of the rocks beyond the birds which....

The otters didn't leave immediately, spending a few minutes looking for lunch before disappearing into the rising waves.
