Through the foliage.....Dipper....

Hope you are enjoying your Sunday.

It is very difficult to get a clear shot of this guy, as there is so much foliage, trees plus railing (to keep the children safe in the Dingle), lining both banks of the stream you are limited, plus he seems to know the most secluded parts of the small stream, and the slightest sound and he is gone.

Thank you for your visits, comments and Favs. All very much appreciated. Best viewed on black if you have the time

Dingle’s must be like kingfishers. They are very flighty and hard to photograph, but you did an excellent job.

Lovely capture!

[Inga Johansson]

This is just a great shot. I love your composition and the soft green from the foreground. I see these little birds in the nearby rivers but they are so quick, I haven't even thought of trying to take a shot. FAV!

[CC Folk]

Love this TT capture, Jo! Congratulations to YOU! :)

[Francoise]

I think this is a great use of the blurry green. I sometimes get blurry green stuff in the foreground by accident (and wish I hadn't), but this looks like it belongs there.

[Taffy]

Congrats on TT! Beautiful!

Such beautiful markings this handsome bird has, and you've managed to capture a photo well despite all the challenges.
