Great job Vic. It is really interesting to see the range of birds in the reserve and something unexpected always turns up like the Snipe in January, let's hope we see the Dippers again soon as must be near from photos on Calder.

Alan, I think the problem with dippers is that the river floods so often. My experience with snipe is that they look for lowland boggy areas in winter so are not unexpected at CB in Winter. You are right about expect the unexpected, without giving too much away we had a VERY special bid this week!

Thanks for the comment
