Otter on the Liffey

I was cycling along the north quays in the centre of Dublin at 8.30 this morning when I spotted this little fella on the bridge at Wood Quay, at the foot of Winetavern St. Not a great photo, I only had a cheap mobile phone with me, but I thought it might be worth blipping anyway.

I have heard that there are otters in the Liffey, but I didn't expect to see one so close to the city centre. Perhaps he was waiting for the Wood Quay Dublin City council offices to open so he could get a fishing permit?
