Ahhh wee molly the otter. Good man for helping the poor mite. I saw an article on this before and read that she goes through their shopping bags, the wee rascal.
Not suggesting it doesnt deserve an award but the subject isnt unique or new see Ring of bright water, a film about a man and his bond with an otter from the 1970s.
Not the point but this language annoys me – a Shetland man’s bond with otter doesn’t become the subject of award winning film, the film of man’s bond with otter becomes award winning, surely. I mean, it wasn’t a film about something else, like a Shetland woman’s bond with daughter and it starts winning awards and it somehow becomes a story about man’s bond with otter. We have a spacetime continuum to maintain.
The bond between humans and animals is always a beautiful thing to see
I used to live in a part of Shetland with one of the famous “Otter Crossing” road signs, and from my bedroom window I’d often see one or two of them swimming or hunting in the voe. Sometimes you’d see a whole family of them paddling along. So cute, but damn I’d never put my hand near one.
