White Throated Dipper by ziggy77

White Throated Dipper

The first place I headed for today on my dog walk was to see if this little chappie was still around. I had almost given up hope when I spotted what I thought could be him downstream. (With his colouring, he is not easy to spot). He was standing on a stone in the middle of the stream (which with all the rain we are experiencing is more like a fast moving river). Probably why we have been honoured by his presence. I tried to move closer and off he flew. after crossing the bridge and going back up, he gone.
It's dinner time and time to go home. I decided to head for my oasis and look one more time. Couldn't believe it he is still here, I need to get a little closer, he was dipping up and down. Have cropped the picture, as lots of distracting leaves.
Thank you to all who visit, comment and fav. All very much appreciated.
He is lovely, nicely caught angle

He's a lovely little bird with his white breast. Good for you for going back to look for him one more time, and for getting this beautiful shot.

Nice shot. There is a lot of texture in this photo - the feathers, the soil, the water, but it isn't too much. Just right.
