Still waiting…<\/p>\n \u2022 otter (B and Z saw four! but I haven’t see one yet) … and all the other sea life that complements the basic setting of trees and rocks, such as clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, barnacles, starfish, jelly fish, and fish.<\/p>\n If this round-up looks like a tick list, I suppose it is. Or maybe a wish list. This trip has underlined how much I value the opportunity to view animals in their natural habitat. Some of our encounters on this trip have been mind-altering.<\/p>\n If you have the chance to visit the Broughtons, go: it’s a fantastic trip. Prepare to be changed! As we begin to move south after our extended visit to the Broughtons, it seems appropriate to do a round-up of the wildlife we’ve seen. It truly is extraordinary.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
