This is the first dipper that I saw back in 2021 and which started my habit of recording my sightings during my regular walks in the area. They are female and were ringed on 2018-Sep-22 at Balmossie in Dundee with their “age” recorded as 3 indicating “fledged bird or bird born in current calendar year”. The rings are blue-over-red on their left leg and yellow-over-metal on their right leg. All my images of this bird are in this Flickr album.
They appear to be the mate of Dipper #4 (2024-Jan).
