Some of Glasgow's elusive otters have spotted enjoying a bit of Sunday fun.
Nicola Johnson spotted three otters in White Cart Water, just off Sinclair Drive, on Sunday morning.
She caught the trio on camera enjoying a swim among fallen trees in the river. Otters are usually solitary animals so the three could in fact be a family.
It's the second time this year otters have been spotted in the city. Bob Elliot, director of the animal charity OneKind, caught some on camera while on a walk near Dawsholm Park in May.
Otters are believed to be returning to Glasgow after their numbers began to decline back in the 1970's.
Conservation work has been ongoing to improve water quality and habitats to increase their numbers in the city.
Otters are very elusive and are more active in the early morning and late evening.
They are undoubtedly more common than current records suggest. Within Glasgow they have been recently recorded on all the major watercourses; the River Clyde, River Kelvin, White Cart Water, North Calder and Forth and Clyde Canal.
