Dog Otter in Winter Waters – Late November Hunt

(Lutra lutra)
Camera: Nikon D4

Captured on a bitterly cold late-November afternoon, this powerful dog otter — the same individual photographed earlier in the summer — was working the margins of a local lake in search of food. The cold air carried every sound, including the distinct, rhythmic exhale each time he surfaced to breathe.

The shifting winter light, the textured water surface, and the otter’s focused movement create a striking portrait of one of Britain’s most elusive mammals. This rare moment shows the otter in its true element: alert, resilient, and perfectly adapted to the harshness of the season.

A beautiful, intimate addition for wildlife lovers who appreciate authentic encounters in the wild.
