The river at Needham Market
Although common up north, DIPPERS are rare visitors to Suffolk, with individuals making trips to this county every 3 or 4 years. And luckily this one was easy accessible, making its temporary home on the river that flows through Needham Market, a town only five miles from where I live.
When I arrived at the site there were around ten people huddled into a corner overlooking a river. It transpired that the dipper was viewable on the river only from a certain angle. Despite an annoying clump of nettle that proved a partial obstacle I was able to get fairly good views, as it ducked and bobbed in the water.
