After weeks
of working I finally got a change in my scenery with Lia visiting from Brazil. Our
first target species for her visit was Dipper so we decided to head over to the
old reliable spot of Hardcastle Craggs. It took some surprising effort to find
the birds, as we walked far beyond the Gibson Mill before we saw a bird fly
past us briefly. It then took more time before we finally pinned one down, but once
we had it put on the best performance I have ever had from a Dipper. A real
shower. All the other species we saw were common woodland species.
