In the post, the group said: "Hot off the press! 

"Some photos taken by Blythe Lindsay of Pollok Park's resident otters having a wee meal this morning.

"They've been successfully breeding in the river and have been around for a few years at least.

"There are more otters in the city waterways as the quality of the water has improved.

"They can be seen anywhere along the river and have been seen in the park often."
