I am exploring my local spots for quite a while now, in search for a nice dipper habitat. Until I found this place a few years ago. When a pair of White Throated Dippers were breeding at this small stream, I waited until the weather forecast showed some cloudy/rainy weather, so that I can achieve a longer exposure time. The dipper landed right at the position where I had wished for it. The cherry on the cake was the nesting material, which it was collecting for the built of their nest.
