Salmon & Vancouver Fog.

The salmon run has started in Goldstream Park so change of plan and off we go to look at the salmon.  











Salmon soup, there are so many salmon here all milling around it just looks like boiling water.
 
A couple of salmon here swimming alone looking for some where to spawn in peace and quiet.
 
Along the river side there are birds and gulls feeding on the salmon roe and the salmon themselves after  they die when they have finished spawning.
 
A young Herring Gull (I think) guarding his fish.
 Herring Gulls, perhaps they are wondering 
                      where to start their feeding frenzy.
 
Mr. & Mrs Mallard enjoying there own feast, I couldn't see what they were eating but I think it must have been the roe.


About three weeks ago when we last visited this park I took a picture of Mount Finlayson, it looks a little different today with the Vancouver fog sitting on the summit.
I have received another link to a Daily Mail article, this time an article on Vancouver fog, this was sent to me by Val and Dave, Ruths sister and brother in law.http:/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2480914/Play-misty-The-stunning-photographs-fog-Vancouver-leave-cloud-nine.html
