Dipper

[Stomperone]

Yesterday I took a return trip out to Plymbridge and as promised managed to get a slightly better shot of the dipper..
The light was awful, so the shutterspeed was slow and aperture was large .. I am determined to get an even better shot and it is always a place worth visiting so I shall return.

Well done on capturing a good shot of a bird I have yet to see.

Great capture! I've only had the pleasure once or twice to see dippers, they're a great little bird. Very entertaining to watch.

Nice photo, and it's one I haven't managed to see or photograph yet

nice pic stomp. They're quite common here, however, very hard to get a good pic of, you've inspired me to head off dipper hunting on saturday now....as long as there's no snow.

They are such a delightful bird to watch, love the photo. It captures the kind of quick glimpse you get and then think of all day.

That's a cracking shot Stomperone - a lovely bird too!

I'd be well chuffed with myself if I could take one of that quality!

That's a really nice contextual shot Stomperone - showing the bird in its typical habitat, and aren't they just fantastic birds to watch - one of my favourites in fact

Last summer I spent a 'one to one' day with young Pro Wildlife photographer Ben Hall photographing Dippers in the Peak District of Derbyshire. We had a superb day with countless sightings and many birds approaching almost too close to focus!

Ben runs annual Dipper 'workshops' (check out his website by just 'googling' Ben Hall) and I'd certainly recommend them to anyone with an interest in these birds.

Here's one of my best shots from the day I had with him -
