Oscar Dewhurst – Otter

Oscar writes: While I was in America we spent 5 days in Grand Teton National Park. On out penultimate morning, while looking out from Oxbow Bend, I spotted a mother grizzly and her two cubs swimming across the lake. I got a few photos of them with the trees behind, and they then passed into the trees. A guide I was talking to recommended we try a short dirt road to see if we could see where they had gone to. Having parked the car and waited for a while it looked like they had probably gone past before we could get there. While we were waiting, however, we were treated to fantastic views as this otter swam down the river towards us before crossing a strip of land no more than 30m from where we were standing!
