As anyone who reads my blog regularly will know, I am quite obsessive if I want to get a good photo. Take this image for example, I have been back 4 times now since I found a nest site. As usual with Dippers, they are not that easy to photograph because the light is usually difficult and the black and white plumage pattern isn't always easy to deal with. I am pleased with today's photos, almost there. I am also very excited that I have found this nest. I can now almost certainly say that eggs have been laid because nest building has been completed and when I got there this morning the male arrived, flew up to the nest to the female and fed her, then they both flew off and down the river. After a while they both returned opposite the nest and after a while flew off up stream confirming that incubation hasn't commenced.
