Cinclus cinclus
I love this species and am lucky enough to have at least a few pairs on a stream only 30 minutes away. Easy to watch but usually from a distance, however I caught this one perched on a boulder having a preen in the middle of the river. I was able to sneak up to a reasonable distance and get some lovely action shots. This particular location isn't the easiest of angles as you tend to look down onto the river. It is a heavily wooded area so not much light get through but I have to admit that I sould be quietly pleased with these results.

Super shots Dave. Always enjoy watching the Dippers along that stretch of river.
Fabulous photos of the Dipper Dave.
It's a beautiful bird... lovely shots Dave

I think they are great shots Dave.
Hi Dave Great shots of the Dipper adn I see it has been ringed.
Splendid bird - one of my favourites.
We used to band the dippers on the Derwent (in Gateshead) - always a good day (if maybe not for the dippers!)

I think I've never seen this bird before and it's lovely!
What a lovely bird.
