We (eldest daughter, grandson and myself) went to Parke, Bovey Tracey yesterday. We had a wonderful walk through the woods and down to the River Bovey. To my delight I saw my first Dipper! Smile

I managed to capture a few shots of it. It was quite dark down at river level and I know I've over exposed the chest, but I am so chuffed to have caught it! Smile

Nicely done. Yes, there is a bit of overexposure but this is a fine shot. I know from experience how difficult it is to get proper exposure on white bird feathers and so I'm not going to fault you on this one.
