Flying at speed

REPOST

 

I was completely unprepared for this dipper when it flashed past me along the River Dodder, Dublin, during my morning walk. The camera was set at ISO 500 giving a speed of 1/50th of a second. But I really rather like it even if the wing tips are the only part in focus and the colour is all wrong.
