Dippers dipping on the Tweed

I was down on the Tweed near Melrose, I had seen dippers on this stretch of the river when I have been fishing. The dippers are pairing up at this time of year, so I took the camera down to the river to get some pictures.

These aren’t  easy birds to get good pictures of. The white breast and the dark brown body make exposure a little tricky. This is what i managed to get………..

About Ron McCombe

I live in the Scottish Borders near Coldstream and like to photograph the local wildlife. Northumberland and South East Scotland have an abundance of natural history with sites such as Bass Rock, The Farne Islands, Holy Island and the Lammermuir Hills. I have also traveled extensively throughout Europe, visiting Norway Sweden, Finland, Poland and Spain. I have also traveled the USA and Canada. But I have to say I prefer Scotland, the lowlands, the highland and islands, Scotland has an abundance of wildlife to be photographed and enjoyed. I like to visit the Isle of Mull when I can, the wildlife and the scenery is stunning, some great species here to photograph, white tailed eagles, otters and red deer to name but a few. You should come along and take a look Ron
