Still not quite the right time of year yet as the light isn't that good deep down in the dales, even on bright days such as yesterday.

Obviously nesting as begun but the dippers are still very wary of people, need a few more people walking up Dovedale path to get them used to us

Love it - particularly like the background and the way it complements waht the Dipper is holding - good job on the exposure as well.

Hi Tom

Good all round shot in what looks like less than ideal lighting!

Strange shot Tom.
For a 1000mm shot it looks to have an incredible DOF.
Great wee birds to watch, and always active.
