On our second day we met up with my wife's uncle who lives in Bradford and walked along the Wharf from from Burnsall and ended the day back at Linton Bridge.
First spot of the day, a Spotted Flycatcher, complete with fly.
Common Sandpipers popped up everywhere, we've not seen them in Suffolk.
Plenty of little fish for the many birds that have them on their menu.
The Goosanders further up the river this time, I'm assuming they're same ones as the numbers were the same.
At Linton Bridge the Dippers were very active in the water.
Off for more food.
The Goosanders, always somewhere in the background.
On the weir, a family of 6 or 7 Grey Wagtails, I couldn't get them all in one shot unfortunately.
Yet another Common Sandpiper.
Finally the Goosanders enjoying themselves in the Weir.
Many thanks for looking through these, there'll be one more post from days walking away from the river, mostly in the hills.
Best Wishes,
Trevor

Thanks everyone yet again, that had to be my most productive day with Dippers ever. Feeding the youngster kept them busy and in one place for ages giving me loads of opportunities to photograph something I've never been lucky enough to see before, the Dippers diving into and bursting out of the water. I've only seen them just slip into and out of the water before.
Thanks,
Another set of brilliant photos to cheer up my dull days, stuck inside, and yes please, lets see the ones away from the river as well. I bet that was nice to catch up with the goosander family.
Many thanks for sharing
