Beautiful pic Johan
So cute. And love the "panning" droplets

Johan Lind Thanks Fabien! Dippers are really cute - there's something special about animals that are "fat and round".

This was yours! I loved it in screening, so much action for such a little subject. I love these pictures that show birds (or animals) in true action, in their environment. I've watched dippers in mountain streams, working in and around the water the way you show here, and they are so much fun to watch. Thank you for the photo.

I have a question ... what lens do you use for pictures like this? I occasionally fantasize that I would like to try and shoot birds, but I doubt my macro lens would work for it.

Johan Lind Thanks Ursula a lot for that long comment. I agree with you completely, dippers are great to watch. This is taken with the Canon 500 mm f/4 + 1.4x TC. It's such a superb combo.
All the best/Johan

Ursula I Abresch Thank you! Appreciate the information :)
