Lucky spot

We where driving along the sand river, in the late morning, when our tracker spotted something on the far bank of the river. This thing kept on jumping in and out of a little patch of reeds. We all fetched our binoculars and started focusing on the patch of reeds on the other bank. Eventually it came out again, and we could identify it as a cape claweless otter, that was playing in the reeds. Than it started walking over a rock fase and we could watch it for a few minutes untill it disapered in the river. What a lucky spot. Cape claweless otters have been seen in the past, but not for many years.
