Took a drive up the M1 today to reach the river Wye in the Peak District. We went looking to find a bird I've always wanted to see, the Dipper. It was a lovely sunny day and we were lucky enough to find a couple of pairs of Dippers on our walk.
The Dipper is a short-tailed, stout bird with a low, whirring flight. When perched on a rock, it bobs up and down and often sticks its tail up.

That's what I said:
'Nice place to spot a dipper' 😃

@ArnoJanBoere@mastodon.nl Certainly was. Great part of our country and I needed the walk too. Totally refreshed for the week ahead now
