It's been a while since one of these was posted.....

Taken in Derbyshire in the Spring.

n.b., I wanted to hide the feet on this bird, and it just about obliged. This one had 4 rings - 2 on each leg !

It certainly did, I am not going to nit about the ring because my eyes are not drawn to it.

Nice one Graham. Luckily most of ours on the brook here are"un touched by man "
I won't expand my comments on colour ringing.

Good looking image, Graham. The soft lighting has really helped with those whites on the breast. A classic Dipper shot.

Like JR I won't get started on colour ringing :frown:
