News of the Black-bellied Dipper at Harpham made it on to the twitcher's networks at the weekend. Imagine that, Harpham hits the front page national news!
The bird has been present since October. This was my comment after finding it

A few high-definition pictures have appeared such as this one from Brett Richards

Apparently the bird didn't want to play ball on Sunday and wasn't seen all day - must have been frustrating for visitors. I wonder if anyone thought to check further down at Lowthorpe road bridge or up at New Road bridge, where my November pictures were taken.
Edit 26/03 - it's a male bird... it has started singing!
