Silted River



The River today was in a sorry condition, heavily silted in spate.  There must have been a heavy downpour up river somewhere, but the volume of silt was something else. 


This is the second time this has happened in as many weeks. Speaking to one fisherman who has phoned SEPA about the volume of silt, probably from Daviot quarry. Will no doubt have a detrimental effect on the Salmon run this year. The waterbirds too, unable to feed due to the heavy contamination. Short clip below showing the colour.
