Wildlife in the River Dee is facing a continued threat by rising water temperatures, conservationists have warned.

Earlier this month, temperatures as high as 21C were recorded in the river near Ballater, well beyond the optimal 16 or 17C needed to sustain Atlantic salmon.

Beyond this range, the fish can stop eating.
