A father and son body boarding in Pembrokeshire were treated to a surprise visitor. On Friday, January 6, Daniel Llywellyn and his son were on Musselwick Beach near Marloes when they were approached by a small otter. Though normally quite shy, the small mammal spent several minutes playing around with them before following them back from the beach.
The little critter was running over his son's foot and showing no fear at all, said Daniel. He added: "It was only earlier in the week that we went walking near some lily ponds and I said it would be lovely to see the otters playing in the pond, but we didn't. But then we come out of the sea and had him basically rolling around on our feet looking like he wanted us to tickle his tummy, it was really quite something."
