And then rain stopped play - Kingfishers, Mandarin Ducks, Mallards, Mute Swans, Cormorants presumably all ducking for cover too.

You may have noticed one of the Brown Trout in the previous video carrying a fish leech - maybe Piscicola geometra? - here you get a better view of it.

A handsome Pike about a yard long - who nearly ran me over on our first encounter! - was bemused at our presence in his domain in the River Itchen & kept coming to inspect my progress #Pike #freshwaterfish #RiverItchen #Itchen #Chalkstreamshtag/Chalkstreams" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#Chalkstreams #Chalkstream #Alresford #Hampshire 4/12

With huge thanks to @anicolson for the introduction & Roger Harrison for sharing his slice of paradise, here's a thread on the enchanting River Itchen downstream of Alresford, my 1st experience of crème de la crème of #chalkstreams.
