Kingfisher and Dipper update

One or two Dippers along the River Rea most mornings at sunrise along with a calling Kingfisher.

There's another female Kingfisher further along the Rea.

Along the Bourn Brook there's the blue bridge Kingfisher and another near the roundabout.

The juvenile, now young assumed male Dipper has been up the Bourn Brook. Saw it with another quiet Dipper assumed to be female and young.

Seen the quite, young female Dippers several times coming into roost.

At roost we've seen one of the Dippers flying up and down either over trees or buildings. Very interesting behaviour. We assume this is territorial.

One Saturday we saw one of the Dippers, which we assumed was the young male, fly off and we assume head to the River Rea.
