The story of Bodach, Palethroat and Pinknose unfolded to Bridget and Don MacCaskill over a period of 12 patient years. Slowly, the wild otters became accustomed to the scent of the humans around their remote Highland sea loch, and the couple were able to observe the habits and behaviour of these beautiful creatures. Cubs are born and grow up with their parents, and the otters regularly encounter other animals, sometimes with amusing results. Whatever the event, Bridget and Don are there with pen and camera, ready to record the details. "On the Swirl of the Tide" is a vivid and intimate portrait of the lives of otters in the wild, part of which was shared with the cameras for Central Television's 'Nature Watch' series. The beautiful colour photographs from Don MacCaskill reveal details never before shown, and Bridget's sympathetic writing of the lifestyle and behaviour of these wild creatures is an enchanting account of otter life.

Product Description:

This is the story of a family of wild otters living in and around a small West Highland sea loch. The authors witnessed every stage of the otters' lives for over 12 years, and the book features a number of colour photographs by wildlife photographer Don MacCaskill.

About the Author:

Bridget MacCaskill was born in Eastbourne in Sussex but has spent nearly all her adult life in Scotland. To her lifelong interest in wildlife and nature conservation is added a deep love of music and literature inherited from her parents. Her husband Don MacCaskill (who took the photographs for this book) has spent all his life in the Highlands of Scotland - as a professional forester and a naturalist. Their fifteen-year study of a family of otters in the Western Highlands was the subject of a Central Television film in the 'Nature Watch' series, first shown in the whole ITV network and then repeated on Channel 4, while it was given a two-page spread in TV Times in March 1991.
