With horrendous weather forecast for this afternoon we decided to make the short trip this morning to see the black-bellied dipper in East Yorkshire. With temperatures just above freezing and a biting wind, no-one hung around for very long. We found the dipper straight away, sitting and fishing under the opposite bank. Dog walkers came down the path and the bird never flinched, remaining just a few feet away, totally oblivious to people. Watched it fishing until we had near hypothermia then beat a retreat back to our log fire and a roast dinner !
