#MY200BIRDYEAR

You may be lucky and have Dipper on your patch, but most of us need to travel somewhere to see one. When heading off to seek a specific bird, always try to do a bit of research on what other species may be nearby, or what other habitats are present, or whether there are any reserves you could visit. A little bit of time spent in research can be very rewarding and can help you boost your #My200birdyear list. Depending on the time of the year, and place, by looking for Dipper you could also potentially pick up on species like Common Sandpiper, Grey Wagtail, Redstart, Whinchat, Ring Ouzel, Wood Warbler, and Kingfisher, to name just a few.
