One of my favourite birds is the Dipper. I have never had much luck with them with the camera though. They live on streams which are often overshadowed by trees or hills.
Purely by chance today I happened to be driving around with my mum and having visited the usual haunts I decided to explore a bit, taking in Dyserth – a place I’d driven through but never set foot in.
One of the “star” attractions there is the waterfall and we pulled up to have a look. The moment I saw the stream I thought “Dippers” and about 3 seconds after that one flew past us.
Camera duly grabbed, a couple of minutes and I had spotted two Dippers, together. As always, there was a bit of a photographic challenge but managed a couple of half-decent pics.
The quest for even better Dipper photos continues…….
