There is a diverse range of wildlife to observe along the river. We were often visited by cows, and the river seems to be full of fish despite the vast number of fishermen who spend their holidays camped at regular intervals along the riverbank with their 6m long fishing poles! At this time of year, most of the water fowl had downy young in tow - swan families (two adults and a cygnet) were a particular highlight, showing absolutely no fear of the boats coming towards them, and simply dodging the bows at the last minute. We were entertained by a duck family at one of the marinas - mother duck and a dozen ducklings who all took off in different directions to circumnavigate each new boat they discovered, despite the noisy quacking of the adult duck trying to regroup them.
