These birds are buidling already - they seem to ignore the weather. Unless they know something we don't!

An unusual perch for a dipper....., lovely detail as usual and diffuse background stream

Lovely Dipper in perfect pose.
I would be tempted to crop this one a little tighter on the left hand side as the toned down white patch on the perch draws my attention a bit.

We had one of these in our country recently wich was nice as we only get one or two each winter.

Greetings,

Stunning photo John. Nice to see the dipper on a different perch!

Lovely dipper image, John. Lots of birds seem to be nest building at last. Let's hope that they do know something that we don't.

Very nice image JR, the wooden perch makes it a bit different.
