River Rea Nesting Kingfisher timeline

River Stour Dippers 2023

I'd checked the River Stour at a few spots for Dipper but the watercourse was not right.

Late July 2023 I checked the River Stour at a spot where I'd previously seen Kingfisher.

I heard a Kingfisher and looked over the bank further along.

Much to my surprise a juvenile Dipper flew off

I returned the next day and it was still there further along.

Then it was joined by another younger Dipper and they chased.

I then checked the complete stretch and saw what looked like an adult Dipper.
