The American dipper is a husky, slate-gray dark-billed bird, 7 to 8 inches long. It has long legs, a stubby tail, and short powerful wings. White eyelids flash when the bird blinks, up to 50 times a minute. The male and female look alike, but the juvenile may be a little lighter, with a pinkish bill. / The behavior from which the dipper derives its name is most distinguishing. The bird jauntily bounces its body up and down, sometimes also twitching its wings. Theories vary as to why dippers dip. Some experts say it is to communicate with their mates; others say it is to show off their strength to potential predators. Could it merely be a dance of exuberance, born out of the joy of living along a sparkling mountain stream?

Ok, now for a new series – this time it is wildlife so I hope you all like nature? / The first part of this series the shots are in Devon and there are only three shots. / So this is number one of three in my Devon series. I hope you like them and thank you very much for viewing my work. The Dipper is quite a shy bird from what I have seen and when you do see them they are usually looking for food up and down the rivers of Devon. You may get them elsewhere in the country but I couldn’t say where. A usual feature of this lovely bird when you get to see it is it constantly keeps bobbing up and down, or I should say dipping up and down. This is the first one I have seen for over forty years since having holidays in Devon at my auntie’s home. It was such a treat for me to see this one let alone managing to capture it with the camera.

You’d better be sure you want to get on this ride. Obviously, another blend of two fractals. I like to place an orderly background beneath some wild or freakish activity, such as here, or with Noodles. The colour of the foreground didn’t quite come out as I had planned. I didn’t realise it until I had the image ready to upload; I added Gaussian blur in Image Tasks to for a softening effect; normally I prefer sharper lines, but I thought I’d be daring and experiment a little. I can get used to it. Actually, the colours almost appear to have been painted by hand.

Something a bit different to finish off today. I took this shot of one of our favourite birds, the dipper, at the Falls of Dochart, Killin (Scotland) one evening a few weeks ago. The dipper isn’t always an easy bird to get a photo of as they tend to move very fast! The name comes from the fact that they “dip” up and down when sat on a rock. / It was getting dark when I took this so I’m afraid it wasn’t as sharp as I wanted. However, never waste an opportunity! I liked the idea of creating a “painterly” feel to this as the water close by really went well with the little chap. / Thank you for looking. / Richard Tech detls: / Nikon D200 / Nikon 55-200mm @200mm / f5.6 1/60th / ISO400
