On Friday lunch-time I went to the weir at Robert’s Park and I could quite easily have spent the rest of the afternoon there. The fish leaping out of the foaming water at the weir were really great to watch. I stopped there again on the way home. I took in the region of 450 photos but as you might guess with the subject most were just of water or blurred.<\/p>\n

Remember this is in the middle of Shipley\/Saltaire\/Baildon not out in the country somewhere. A great place to live\/work.<\/p>\n

This first one is actually made from a sequence of 4 shots. How do they get that high? I am really pleased with my 7D and its fast frame rate. As usual, click the image to see it bigger at flickr.<\/p>\n

\"Trout<\/a><\/p>\n

This one is a single shot. I wonder how many fish are actually in the water if so many of them can be seen out of the water like this?<\/p>\n

\"Trout<\/a><\/p>\n

If they hit the flow of water on the weir right (wrong?) they really get thrown up and around. They don’t seem to be hurt though.<\/p>\n

\"Trout<\/a><\/p>\n

Somehow they manage to burst out of the water even though it is flowing at a rate that I would call dangerously fast – but then I’m not a fish.<\/p>\n

\"Trout<\/a><\/p>\n

I think this one, below, clearly identifies them as Brown Trout but I am only going by a simple Google search, I am certainly no expert. If I am wrong please let me know.<\/p>\n

\"Trout<\/a><\/p>\n

As I said, they just burst out of the water.<\/p>\n

\"Trout<\/a><\/p>\n

Two more having a go.<\/p>\n

\"Trout<\/a><\/p>\n

I don’t know if it was co-incidence or just me noticing them but when the fish were busy leaping the Blackheaded Gulls swarmed round a bit. Where has this one put its legs and feet though?<\/p>\n

I have added another post with just one photo of Trout on the weir here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have posted about other sightings Trout Leaping the Weir<\/a>\u00a0 and\u00a0A few photos of Autumn around Robert\u2019s Park<\/a><\/p>\n
