Not really book related, but just wanted to share this pic as I was really excited to get it. Mr Oryx and I spend a disproportionate amount of time looking for otters when we're on holiday, and when we see them it's so hard to get a good shot - usually too far away even with a zoom lens. But in the Hebrides, I just peeped over a harbour wall and came face to face (almost) with this guy! Managed to get about 5 shots before he disappeared. ❤️

jhod I don't think I knew what an otter looks like so thank you for educating me, ha! 5y

Just wanted to share the beautiful illustration in this book (was reshelving it, and had to take another look through before I did so). I bought this for Mr Oryx, so I haven't actually read it myself yet.

Otter spotting in the Scottish #sunshine makes me think of this story. No otters spotted this year yet, but making the most of the rare warm weather here! #maybookflowers @RealLifeReading #dogsoflitsy #scotland. And just edited as I realised this also fits #homebythesea #rockinmay @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Photos are incredible 💙I never realized how much I want to visit Scotland before...#bucketlist 7y
