OK lads, I think this is amazing and I looked at him for bloody ages, I had
a Dipper in my backyard, I have no water or running stream except for maybe
a creek about =BD a mile away, we have just had a tremendous amount of snow=
,
he was foraging around the ground eating some of the seed that I chuck out,
has anyone else ever had a dipper in the garden in this manner? Not countin=
g
you lot that have a river running through your property!!!
I have only ever seen them in environments accustomed to their surroundings=
!
Unfortunately he was very quiet and I couldn=92t get a sound out of the
blighter!
