An Otter seen in Mai Po 水獺

This is not a bird record but a mammal record.
An otter was seen just outside the Hide #8 in Mai Po on 01/10/2004.
As it was running very fast, only an unsharp photo of its rear part was captured.

Hi Felix,
 
This should be a mongoose instead of an otter.
The skin of an otter is always wet and its size is much bigger than the mongoose.
 
This was my first time to see the otter in HK.

觀鳥是要用心眼,並非簡單地用肉眼去看,用心眼去感受一下,看透牠們奧秘的生命。

Forrest & bjingbar,
 
Thanks for your correction.  
Anyway, it seems we have a new target in MP
