There appears to be a family of otters living just past Simonstown. They frequent Windmills beach, Partridge Point and a certain freshwater spring somewhere in between. Residents in the area have spotted them numerous times and it is very exciting to watch their family grow and develop over time. A big thank you to Liz Hardman who provided these stunning photos of the otters of Murdoch Valley:
Hi, Just wanted you to know I stopped a large member of this family opposite my home looking for food across the main road here I live.
I was surprised and worried at the time to see them searching so close to the main road, that was in about the 16th June this year about 300 meters south of fisherman’s beach.
