Dipper in the River Cam - a photo on Flickriver

            I have been wanting to try and capture a shot of this little fella for a while now. 

After waiting for over an hour for him to turn up, I was starting to pack up when out of the corner of my left eye, I spotted him. 

He allowed me to rattle off a few shots before he flew further down the river out of view.

I know I can improve on this and will be back again soon to try my luck for a clearer image.

Let me know what you think, good or bad.

Thanks for looking.
