Not one of your 'glamour' birds, or a critter that will draw 'ooooooossss' and 'ahhhhhhhhsss' (or Instagram 'likes', for that matter), but they're always fun to watch, and a little challenging to photograph as they don't stand still for a second. TBH, they weren't what I went looking for today, but it's all I got (I'm looking at you Northern Pygmy Owls **shakes fist**).

Nealy nice images, love the rain too!

I like them, I like that pretty blue. Nice set.

I'm terrible with words. I see a blueish tint on the grey so that's the blue I'm referring to. Maybe it's only because of the way the light is hitting it that it has the blueish tint perhaps, I'm not sure, just an educated guess??? Does anyone else see it?

Do you mean the blue on the bird?

Aren't we talking about the bird? "I like them, I like that pretty blue."

It's a bit of 'plain jane' but still interesting - photos are perfect. Nice set

Sorry, I misread the quote. They are blueish grey, although the amount of blue varies depending on the light. I prefer the white/brown colouration of the European Dipper, but we have what we have.

Excellent set. One of my nemesis birds. I always see them when I'm shooting landscapes and never when I have a long lens.

Excellent photos. I do so wish they also inhabited our eastern streams.

Beautiful. Very high on my capture list; but I've moved a few thousand kms out of their range

Thanks. I'm sure you've got lots of lovely new [to you] critters to photograph.

Nice shots of the Dippers! We have several cold, clear running streams in the Black Hills where we are monitoring their nesting boxes. Dippers and Kingfishers are my nemesis species!
