Many thanks

Canon EOS R5 and the RF 100-500. If you have a fast prime then worth taking as the trees can cut out a lot of light (although sun sets behind hills opposite hide so you should get the best of it before it sinks below the hill top) Biggest challenge with a long prime will be trying to lock on to the bird before it dives (tend to come in steep) or trying to gauge where they will hit and pre-focusing there. Enjoy!

@@bobbyfartpants , Thanks Bobby , I'll be using my R6ii with the RF 100-500 . Don't have a fast prime as yet but hoping to add that in the future . Thanks for the reply . Happy birding .

Thank you

Thank you

Yes indeed. Bucketed down the day before so restricted to the trees due to that and wind but what a day. What a day!

I have never suffered from sea sickness thankfully. I think if the crossing was rough you’d be too busy clinging on to your seat to remember you felt sick!

😀Dramamine works for me but makes me very drowsy. I saw a program Ben Fogle did about StKilda. Looks like an amazing place

Thank you 😊

Thank you very much

More interested in the dogs. They are in close proximity to people majority of time (although most people have no idea) - some are very flighty, others more tolerant but always a joy to see

Thank you. Lucky to have plenty of them close to home. Not often they are close enough for long enough to get a decent photo or footage (or weather to do so!)

Not that I know of. I suspect you’d end up with the police visiting about concern for poaching. Although it’s amazing to see the salmon it’s not so great to see them thumping off a concrete monstrosity. Wish they’d do something more with it. Maybe some sort of petition would help ….or is that just naive?

I don’t disagree

As you’ll see from other comments Mike, there is a fish pass on the other side of the weir

There’s a ladder on the far side of the weir

@@bobbyfartpants cheers for that

Tight lines then. There’s some clonkers by the look of it

@@bobbyfartpants av fished peebles back in the day wehn a was a youth cardrona nest innerleithan junction area coldstream where the webcam looks onto side of a small burn that flows to the tweed...great river expensive for me as funds limit my day time fishing so i choose option No 2 go it commando style at night costs nothing ;-) over 30 years visting tweed so far so good ;-) wish a could say the same for north east river mind you not been so lucky though english laws differ greatly from Scots laws HMP Saughton Edingburgh taught me that for some ancient tresspass law i broke unknowingly even the sherrif at court never heard of this law best they could do was give me 5 weeks :-) Gaol said i was the first man in scots history to ever be gaoled for this offence and last time some one was done for it was in the 1800s but i still love scotland :-)

There’s a ladder on the other bank. Presumably they find it as there’s a viewing centre nearby but would be great to see another installed as pretty much all of the salmon I’ve seen here have been at the side this was filmed from

There is a salmon ladder at the opposite bank but it would be nice if they would replace or demolish these weirs

Thank you

There is a salmon ladder at the opposite bank. I’m always hopeful the fish do eventually all find it. They must do a fair bit of damage trying to run the weir. There is a viewing centre at Philliphaugh just a short distance from the weir www.salmonviewingcentre.com/

@@bobbyfartpants and a salmon viewing center so Joesph Public can watch :-) side of the fish pass....people are only seeing what they can see = Optics

not always their final journey, many make it back to sea to return to our rivers! they need help to get over this weir though

Agree but there is a salmon ladder at the opposite bank

Just as well there’s a ladder then eh? Shame we have been so good at buggering things up

@@bobbyfartpants Here in Northern Germany and denmark we are rebulding all these structures. In the Last 10 years denmark has an increase in spawning seatrout more then 1000%! Yes, thousand!

Fantastic thank you - there is nowhere better

Hi there - so sorry for not replying before now - will take a look - have you considered the insta 360 one R?

Thanks !

Exactly!!
