Kennell Vale Dipper and Grey Wagtail

The new lime green woodland canopy at Kennell Vale looked beautiful this morning but the cover that it created stopped the daylight from reaching the river banks

Lots of shots of dark Dippers in dark locations ended up being deleted but every now and again the birds seemed to find a patch of penetrating daylight to brighten up their portraits

The brighter coloured Grey Wagtails fared better and they were showing more often and in more varied locations than the Dipper.

The Dipper and the Grey wagtail were all busy feeding young in the nest so we will hopefully be snapping away on fledglings being fed along the river banks before to long !
