A disappointing day turned into an award-winner for photographer when he captured this image of an otter’s bizarre puffin snack in the Shetland Islands in Scotland.
After hours of uneventful otter-watching, Shucksmith and his companions were heading home when they noticed a puffin diving close to where one of the furry creatures had jumped in the water. “That would be interesting, if the otter caught the puffin, never seen that before,” . Sadly for the puffin, the photographer got his wish, and the otter soon surfaced with this colourful-billed bird grasped in its mouth.
