One of the most interesting features of this bird is it's extraordinarily short wings and you've managed to capture them perfectly Stu. Good timing.

Lovely shot Stuart, I never appreciated how short their wings are.

Perfect shot Stuart, beautiful light.
In Tobermory I would have a problem: dippers or 12 years old :toast: :toast:

Hi Stuart. An excellent dipper shot. The wings are timed perfectly and the exposure is spot on with great detail in the white throat. The behaviour with the moss-plucking is the icing on the cake. Well done! :toast: :toast: :toast:
