For those of you that have never seen a Dipper, let me
tell you they are never still so these shots are as good as I could manage although
the video at the end of this post will give you a better idea of it. Photographed at Glynn River.
A few Mallards also in the river.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the Dipper.

such a cute bird.
ReplyDeleteLovely. So many birds make greased lightening seem slow - and predictable don't they?
ReplyDeleteVery interesting observation!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Margaret.
ReplyDeleteThe video is great.
Best regards, Irma
lovely, eating must wear these little Dippers out, no wonder he stopped there-and glad you didn't get hit!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, great photos and video. The Dipper is a cool bird and neat to watch. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery cute bird.
ReplyDeleteLove how it can stand seemingly steady in fast flowing water. Another picture makes it look like the bird is actually walking on water.
ReplyDeleteexciting captures!!! it seems if there is water, mallards will come!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this is my first view of a Dipper. Thanks for showing it. I photographed little stints for the first time while birding with my SIL in Kwa-Zulu Natal last month. They're like little sewing machines - never still. Have a great day. Jo
ReplyDeleteYes, it's difficult to capture a bird that is always on the move. Despite that, you got some good shots.
ReplyDeleteNever have seen such a bird. What is it eating?
ReplyDeleteYou did very well getting so many good photos of the dipper! I have never seen one before so thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
Hi Margaret, I certainly see how they got their name!
ReplyDelete~
Yes I can why they move so much to be able to capture a clear shot of it. Nice video and images!
ReplyDeleteI love watching the dippers. I only see them here in winter.
ReplyDeleteSweet little bobbing motion, and you did well to capture these shots when bobbing, hiding and running quickly are characteristics of the dipper. Loved the vídeo.:)
ReplyDeleteI love Dippers so really enjoyed this post Margaret. They are so difficult to get shots of. Well done :) Apologies for late comment - have been away for a few days and struggling to catch up with blog posts!!
ReplyDeleteI just happened across your lovely blog. I have enjoyed looking around it, I love the pictures you got of this interesting bird!! I have never heard of this bird before, we don't have them over here in the States. Thank you so much for getting great pictures and video of it. God bless
