Peter was right of course, a very out of focus otter

and the long "beast" is two otters

I just couldn't get a good focus on them this morning, the one below would have been a cracker

NESSIE SPOTTED AT HADDO FISHERY

« **Reply #12 on:** 04/06/2011 at 20:19 »

After seeing this thread i showed my girlfriend the pictures, she then proceeded to tell me a story about fishermen putting sticks in their welly boots. She explained to me that fishermen did this because if bitten by a stoat they would not release their grip untill they feel a break ie. the bone but with the sticks there to break first the leg would be saved.
Anyone got a comment to clarify this utter nonesense??

I sense some sort of subliminal message in there Noel

don't think it's worth bragging about though

I like Otters, I think they are pretty awesome animals

Cheers

« **Reply #20 on:** 04/06/2011 at 22:59 »

your right mike,they are awesome animals,but if 2 otters go away with a £20-£30 fish each,twice a day,your out of pocket to the region of £100 a day!

I agree

Sure they are pretty and all but I would have a feisty little Jack Russel or such on site to make their life a little less comfortable.

« **Reply #22 on:** 04/06/2011 at 23:08 »

maybe a crazy idea,but have you thought of using a few feed boxes around the fishery to stop them taking your big fish? it whould save you a few hundred pounds over a year.just a thought of course

« **Reply #23 on:** 05/06/2011 at 01:19 »

Having otters, herons and ospreys eating your stock is simply all part of running of a stocked fishery in my opinion

I like them being there

Cheers

I'd like some better photos as I think that is my subject for the next painting

so mr B, get the Vaseline off the lens

and get me some good Haddo otter shots.
And I'm with you these should be the only shots getting taken at the otters.

Quality control at it's best IMHO
