So we've had a week of warm weather here in Scotland (incredible, but true), and yesterday Gail kindly took me down to the river, thinking I might like a swim.
It did indeed feel quite refreshing when I dipped my paws in the water.
But then I overheard some shouts from a family who were splashing around a few yards upstream.
The mother was telling her kids to look out for otters, and there followed a lively discussion as to whether an otter in the river might bite.
Gail insisted that this was just "banter" and anyway otters are shy creatures who would steer well clear of this popular swimming spot.

I wasn't so sure, and so I retreated away from the riverbank and opted instead for short walk to say hi to some porcine pals in the nearby field.
I don't think these guys had the energy to get up, much less to bite. When I approached close they barely even managed an "oink"!
Happy Nature Friday everyone, and thanks once again to our ever awesome LLB Gang friends for hosting the blog hop!
