and again in 1922, over 300 fine Salmon were caught 
at one spot in a fortnight, but at another part of the same

The same keen and accurate observer has identified over

including several rare birds of unsurpassed interest. 
Salmon deposit their spawn among gravel, and will 
seek out and lay up in deep burns for this all-important 
operation. ‘They become very lethargic at such time, 
and let it be said here that, when in fresh water, Salmon 
(except in the Parr state), do not feed. They make up
