Otters are SAD!

The last one is the best. It has good composition and shows gesture and character.

I like all of them. The #4 is my favorite.

Don't be afraid to use a higher iso.
If you get the exposure right iso 800 on the 400D is still very good.
With birds in flight and sports I'm often at iso 800 using a 400D. Sometimes it is better to overexpose a little then come back down in PP to help with noise.
