Re: Migration of Salmon on the River Tyne.
An amazing sight to watch. The distance a Salmon can jump from fast flowing water has to be seen to be believed. And no grizzly's to catch them !

Re: Migration of Salmon on the River Tyne.
You've shared some great photography with us, Ian, but these must be among the most challenging photos you take. The fish jumping takes place in a second. You need to compose, focus and capture the image in that time. Very tough to do and it makes me respect these all the more. Thanks.

Re: Migration of Salmon on the River Tyne.
Thank you, to take these images my reactions had to be very fast to say the least. I found that over a period of time I got better at predicting where they leap, and faster at reacting.

Re: Migration of Salmon on the River Tyne.
It's pretty crazy to imagine how far they travel. Hopefully we will be able to get the population increasing.

Re: Migration of Salmon on the River Tyne.
I'm always amazed that they find their way back to the river where they hatched. Amazing geographic memory.
