Artist's dipper tip

Whilst at Grigin Farm I bumped into the wildlife artist and broadcaster Dee Doody, who is known for the work he has done to conserve red kites. As might be expected, we had a lot in common.
He told me about a place where I could see dippers and so I stopped at the spot on the way back from the farm and saw this one feeding its chicks under a bridge.
The light was fading, but I managed to get some lovely shots.
