Salmon on the River Test

Brilliant wildlife encounter yesterday, two adult salmon on the River Test. They were dark pinky red, which is their spawing colour and were enormous! They were heading downstream and at this later time of year had probably spawned. The largest one must have been two feet long, with a huge wide jaw, it was very impressive. I managed to take a video clip of it swimming under the bridge where I was stood, photos are hard to take through water but I hope I caught it well enough on video.
