Not the easiest to get Pauline but you captured this one very well. You have got to take the opportunity given, they can't all be taken in perfect light.

A very good shot PMG. I have not seen one for some time and never been able to get a shot of one.

Thanks folks - it was one of those unique opportunities and wholly unexpected. Ok so there is a decent bit of river between Grasmere and Rydal and I've seen dipper around before but to have it feeding less than 100ft away was magic! I couldn't stop shaking! I was dithering around like a right fool! I've so wanted to take a pic of a dipper - for years I've wanted to - its just sort of one of those birds - like woodpeckers and kingfishers - you just want one!! Goodness only knows how I would be if it was an eagle in front of me - I'd probably drop the camera!!!!!
