I only saw one swimming salmon in the river. Normally there are thousands of them. There were a few corpses at least: I suspect these may have been earlier arrivals which entered the river before the ‘red tide’ affected salmon already in the sea?

The Eagles are more difficult to approach early in the season and I usually don’t get any decent photos until mid to late December. I wonder of they’ll still be around then?
