There are two lovely ones in South lanarkshire at a place called Chatelerhault country park on the river Avon. A lovely bird. We were watching them on Sunday and there was a Grey wagtail standing on a rock next to a Dipper.And if that couldn't get any better, there was a Raven gliding overhead.(first one I've seen in a while). |

Have you walked in Lathkill Dale? The Dippers are nesting under the waterfall again, as they do every year.
I was there last weekend and watched them for a while.
I also spotted my first Redstarts of the year too!
