Nesting Dipper
I do not normally photograph nesting birds for two reasons.
1.The risk of disturbance and therefore abandonment
2.The risk of disclosure to others.
However, while walking along the River Exe, I came across this Dipper’s nest, in a very public place and spent two fabulous hours watching, from a considerable distance, these birds. The weir was visited by a number of people during which the Dippers did not visit the nest. However, most people only spent a few minutes in the vicinity of the nest and the Dippers resumed feeding as soon as they had gone.
