Re: Dipper Chicks Debut

Stood for an hour watching Dipper chicks fledge.They led their mum a right dance, while dad continued to feed the remaining chicks in the nest The pictures tell their story better than I could.

Now stay there until I get some food

Is that my brother over there

Should I wait for mum

Hold on Bro, I'm coming

Hello Bro


Where's that boy gone, I told him to wait


Over here mum, over here

Absolutely brilliant - a great set of images.

Wow Judi Brillant set of photos, fantastic detail

Fantastic set of images - well jealous here where an adult Dipper would do, never mind kiddies!!!

Oh these are lovely photos and love the story too :-)

Absolutely fantastic photos, I'm so jealous! Very interesting to see that they're happy to leap into the water immediately on fledging :)

Oh wow Judi, they are wonderful. What a brilliant way to spend an hour or two.

Just gorgeous Judi - I've never seen dippers.  That must have been such a fascinating hour for you.

Thank you all so much for your lovely feedback. That's 3 firsts this year, the Short Eared Owls, The Kingfishers and now the Dippers. Isn't nature wonderful.
