This week we enjoyed blisteringly hot weather on our descent of the Spey swimming in the river most days . The river winds through some beautiful scenery and we we saw osprey diving for fish, sand martens dipping in and out of their burrows (in the pic), oyster catchers, dippers, tares, buzzards, leaping salmon, red squirrels (I had never even seen a red squirrel in England as they're so rare down there). We also found fresh water mussels. Most of the rapids and weirs were a scrape but I'd like to go back and do the section from Knockando to Spey Bay in higher water.
