Dipper - (Cinclus cinclus)
Taken on route whilst heading up to Scotland. The setting was really spot on, however I cannot beleive that such a shy bird was nesting so close to a public footpath. We spend a whole day with these little fellows, however the walk back to the car was something else, especially with the gear up the hill.

A cracking day spent with a couple of great guys who's company made the day. I understand now that the young have hatched.

Lovely shot and nice comp - shame about the ringers and the disturbance - makes my blood boil and one of the reasons I won't let anyone know the location details for the various nesting sites down here in Devon - touch wood no disturbance yet :rolleyes:
