Synopsis

For almost two decades retired forester Don MacCaskill and his wife Bridget kept vigil over the wild otters that bred on a remote sea loch in the Scottish Highlands. They discovered much that was not known before about the animals behaviour, and shared their knowledge with Julian Pettifer for a Central Television 'Nature Watch' series. 'This is the book to leave everybody wanting a second helping' SCOTTISH WILDLIFE 'Superb photographs. The opportunities to observe and photograph their feeding, grooming, play and mating in full daylight were unique. ' DAILY TELEGRAPH 'Otters have a strong appeal and deserve all the books they can get' OBSERVER 'A marvellous tale...there is much beauty in the book. ' EVERGREEN.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Bridget MacCaskill was born in Eastbourne in Sussex but has spent nearly all her adult life in Scotland. To her lifelong interest in wildlife and nature conservation is added a deep love of music and literature inherited from her parents. Her husband Don MacCaskill (who took the photographs for this book) has spent all his life in the Highlands of Scotland - as a professional forester and a naturalist. Their fifteen-year study of a family of otters in the Western Highlands was the subject of a Central Television film in the 'Nature Watch' series, first shown in the whole ITV network and then repeated on Channel 4, while it was given a two-page spread in TV Times in March 1991.
