‘I would like the reader to join me in my growing sense of wonder.’
Otters are among Britain’s most popular and endearing wild creatures. Made famous by literary phenomenon Ring of Bright Water, they have taken their place in the hearts of the British people. Andy Howard has been photographing them for more than a decade, especially on the Isle of Mull, Shetland, and Vancouver Island in Canada. Here we share some of his photographs of these brilliant creatures.
