The River Teme seen from Ludford Bridge at Ludlow. A dipper watches the water from the rocks, frequently diving in and walking under the water searching for small fish to eat.
Dippers spend the summers higher in the hills, and come downstream as the weather gets harder with the approach of winter. The chances of spotting one in the same place will depend on the level of the water. These pictures were taken several years ago, at this time of year. If all the recent heavy raIns have raised the river level too high, the birds are likely to look elsewhere for a good hunting spot.
