Hello followers, we have a nice stay in Canada and enjoying a lot of nature and wildlife.
Yesterday it was a cloudy and rainy day. I went to Chilliwack lake and shoot some landscape near that beautiful spot. The road to and from Chilliwack lake was a 45 km road through a valley and beside is Chilliwack river with a lot of (fishing) stops. I also stopped a lot ;-)) and watched fishermen catching oversized salmons. It's incredible to see what salmon has to deal with on their journey up to the stream and i almost getting respect for this fish ;-)
On my first stop beside the river is saw some mergansers flying and i thought: what a weird spot for a merganser, in the Netherlands they are always fishing on open water. On the second stop i saw a group of 15 mergansers foraging through the shallow riverbed. I couldn't take images from them but at least i learned sometihng ;-) This one i noticed at the same spot and has the same behaviour as the european one, there was not much light but i gave it a try and here he's.
