Happy Heron

One of the best months for the Heron fishing is the Month of May

Thousands of Salmon Parr head for the lower reaches and the Heron is in his element,

he also has no competition because angling is banned during this month to protect the stocks.

A few shots taken over the last couple of evenings - fading light and auto setting means definition is poor, but I think the action is 
unmistakable.                 

Harbour Otter

Slight change of topic - tonight down at the harbour whilst checking on the Swans, a duck started making a big fuss alerting the swans that danger was around. Sure enough within a minute or two I spotted an Otter feasting on Salmon Parr, harbour is full of them at the moment. Poor quality pics but short video clips confirm it was an Otter. One more predator for the Swans and ducks to worry about ! If you missed my old post on the Nairn harbour otter, you can see it here with video clips, http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.co.uk/2010/09/harbour-otter.html
