On the otter hand ...

Street photography may be increasingly risky in the UK and US, what with the zealous Boys (and Belles) in Blue taking you for a terrorist.

But wildlife photography will never be the same, either.

There you go, aiming your camera at those cuddly creatures, seemingly secure in the knowledge that they ain’t gonna give you any grief when, all of a sudden, you find them pointing a camera back at you ...

Or is it? Didn't I read somewhere that the Government was training animals to be spies?

The full story here, and thanks to Mighty Mom for giving me the lead.
