Uh oh. YouGov poll asked about Scottish banknotes and whether they should be ditched, and if I can just say RIGHT NOW to whatever group commissioned that survey:

If you try to replace our beautiful otters with a privileged old white man it will be REVOLUTION.

Just FYI.

Unexpectedly spotted this Smooth-coated Otter (Lutrogale perspicillata) this morning (3 June 2025) on the way to work at one-North: Fusionpolis North Park. It sniffed at some scat on the walkway before moving off.

These are handphone photos, so not very sharp.

"For years, the existence of the Eurasian Otter (Lutra lutra) in Malaysia had remained uncertain, with the last confirmed sighting reported in 2014 near the Danum Valley Field Centre in Sabah. Panthera’s recent work within the Deramakot-Tangkulap Landscape has provided definitive evidence, dispelling any lingering doubts."

New pool mania and mayhem by otters.

I watch these so I'm not tempted to get a small aquatic mammal in the form of a tiny, hyperactive seal.

Picked up some extension tubes to play around with #MacroPhotography on the micro four-thirds camera. It's interesting! Here's my #Lottie AirPods case from #AnimalCrossing.
