Juvenile Dipper

A young Dipper on the Burbage Brook

Tuesday 14th July 2015

We parked at the National Trust car park at Longshaw Lodge near Grindleford in the Peak District and commenced a walk, which eventually took us alongside the Burbage brook. Within minutes of me saying, 'This is dipper country', we saw our first. There appeared to be two flying up and down the stream, keeping pace with us, one with a definite white breast (adult) and the other (above) with a speckled breast. It was so peaceful watching them, until someone let their Alsation dog go into the stream!
