Dont you just love Lumsucker's....







Spring is often a time when Otters catch a lot of Lumpsuckers and particularly the much brighter and vividly coloured males (such as this one). This 'sibling squabbling' scene of brother and sister cubs tussling is a common sight when their mother lands prey and particularly when its a prized catch such as this Lumpsucker. This particular family caught many of this size and even some larger over a period of a few weeks. It was intriguing that many other sites you could see this same behaviour but these guys in particular- loved those Lumsuckers.
