Otter that Turned Rotter: Cosy job, being a photographer
Otter that Turned Rotter: Cosy job, being a photographer. Unless, that is, you happen to be filming an otter called Spade. Daily Mirror cameraman Alisdair Macdonald met up with Spade at Earsham, Suffolk, where the movie Tarka The Otter is being shot. The two year old otter, who co-stars as Tarka with baby otter Tarquina, welcomed Alisdair with a friendly peck. But then he hogged Alisdairs camera. And suddenly it was more a close encounter of the Jaws kind. Alisdair said ruefully; " I gently tried to push his body off the lens. He spun round with incredible speed, sinking his teeth into my hand. Poised...Star before the camera.

Otter that Turned Rotter - A Close Encounter of the Jaws Kind
In this print from 1978, we witness the unexpected hazards faced by a Daily Mirror cameraman named Alisdair Macdonald during the filming of Tarka The Otter in Earsham, Suffolk. Alisdair had the pleasure of meeting Spade, a mischievous two-year-old otter who plays Tarka alongside baby otter Tarquina in the movie. As Alisdair approached Spade with his camera, he was greeted with a friendly peck from this adorable creature. Little did he know that Spade had other plans for their encounter. In an amusing turn of events, Spade decided to claim ownership over Alisdair's camera and refused to let go. Attempting to regain control of his equipment, Alisdair gently pushed against Spade's body. However, what followed was nothing short of astonishing. With lightning speed and precision, Spade spun around and sank his teeth into poor Alisdair's hand. Despite this unexpected twist in their interaction, it is evident from the photograph that there is no ill will between them. Both man and otter share a moment frozen in time - one filled with humor and camaraderie amidst the challenges faced on set. This image serves as a reminder that even in seemingly cozy jobs like photography or working with animals on film sets, surprises can lurk just beneath the surface. It captures both the cute nature.
