3 River Rea Dippers

I saw the three River Rea / Bourn Brook Dippers again a few weeks back.

I've now seen the two Dippers on the River Rea individually in the past week.

The juvenile singing Dippers likes an outlet pipe from the Cannon Hill Lake, seen it stop there 3 times this past week.

Today much to my surprise the other juvenile Dipper at the Bourn Brook blue bridge.

3 River Rea Dippers

Paul had seen 3 Dippers on the Bourn Brook.

This morning there was one, then there were two chasing, then I saw a lone Dipper feeding, thought it was one of the two, then looked a short distance away and there were the two. Near the one. Three Dippers. Great!
