White-throated dipper

We had yesterday a nice, cold (-25C/-15F) day in southern Finland.

Close to us is a small river and rapids, where I could find a couple of white-throated dippers.

Some more pictures in my blog: http://ollilaasanen.wo​rdpress.com …lla-at-the-dipper-rapids/

They look like real nice shots though I think color might work well. Nice angles looks like you were down low!

Thanks BG. I first processed them in color, but after playing b/w with <this> picture, I decided to drop the colors in all shots. After all, dipper is a black and with bird. And yes, I was at times laying flat on the edge of the ice.

Nice shots there Olli, I really like #1. (the snow scape you link in second post is magical BTW)

Excellent shots Olli! A bird that rarely gets captured and posted here. One of its cousins, which i dream to photograph, is available here at Yellowstone National Park. Their behaviour is VERY fun to watch.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks both!

I made a search for dippers and noticed the same: not too many posts of that nice bird. Now some more.

neat series
