Dipper, Cinclus Cinclus

Hi all!

2 Days ago I photographed this Dipper. He got very close so I was able to shoot a lot of portraits. It was a great day, hope you like the photos!

Only the first is on my main flickr photostream, the others are on my 'second hostpage' flickr account.

Every photo shot with my Canon 1000D on ISO800, +1/3EV.
Hope to get back soon to get even more satisfying photos. The light wasn't great and I'd like to make more photos from the whole bird instead of portraits. I did make some photos of the whole bird, but he sat in places which gave me ugly backgrounds.

Anyhow, it was a great day and I'm very happy with these results!
What do you think?
