SUSHI BAR

This is the time year when the salmon come up river to spawn and to see them leaping our weir is a stunning sight. The river was very low so a salmon ladder was installed to help them along their way. Our heron took up residence alongside it treating it as his personal sushi bar,catching the tiny trout also travelling up river. One our regulars was trying to get pictures when he saw a salmon leap straight into the heron’s legs sending him tumbling into the churning waters loosing both the fish and his diginity. A few years ago when the river was also vey low the fish decided here was far enough and started spawning, the river baliffs protecting them ask us to switch off our floodlight, they need more privacy to do their business!
