Can anyone give me a good site to obtain some reasonably close photos of dippers.

Ken - I've sent you a pic I took at the stepping stones near Saltburn viaduct.

Worth remembering that Dippers are early breeders and so now is not a good time to be chasing them up and down streams with a camera!

This comes from a photographer who would also love a good image of Dippers but won't be trying until about June.

Thanks for the advice, but I do have some sense when it comes to photography

Hi Ken

I'm sure you do, but Dipper is a very scarce breeding bird in Cleveland and at this site it is highly susceptible to disturbance. As Stew points out, this is by far the worst time of year to try and photograph them.

Thanks lads point noted will prob leave this until later in year.Just thought if there was a chance to spot one it may have been worthwhile a quick look.However will try later.
