More classic sea eagle #kleptoparasitism behaviour just now at Loch na Keal #Mull. #NewKidsontheRock sitting alongside sleeping otter-then otter got active. Eagles watched intently. Otter brought large fish ashore & eagles piled in. Otter gave them the slip & kept fish. Again!🙄
Managed to update our user name to MullOtterGroup rather than MullsOtterGroup😃
Long story but a mix up stopped MullOtterGroup being used to start with.
Last week we got a call about a poorly otter at Ulva. We recovered the otter, visited the vet, and the plan was to keep overnight and take to SSPCA on the mainland the next day. Sadly the otter didn't last the night.
Thanks to @boathouseulva @isleofulva for reporting it to us.
Brilliant to see such an AWESOME list of AMAZING Citizen Science projects including the @mcsuk Great British Beach Clean by @guardian today!

An otter predating a Common Gull. It was watching (but not photographing) an otter nail a Gannet recently that reminded me of this image from spring. This week I will post an otter with different prey every day, which should be fun! @IOSF
