What wildlife did you spot today?

[Perplexed Pieman]

Paddled on the Romarstjodet/Ortervatnet in Agder fylke this week and watched sea eagles and beavers. At one point I turned into an inlet, paddling about 10 feet from the side and spooked a beaver that was sunning itself on the rocks. It shot off at a high rate of knots before performing a dive from about 5 feet into the water. About 15 minutes later I found myself paddling beside it as it swam back down the inlet. I got about 5 five minutes shadowing it before it spotted me and dived with a massive smack of its tail.
