Dipper, Goldfinch

Another long walk this morning in a fairly cool breeze, with not a great deal to report.  I walked up to Rakewood looking for Dipper, and finally found one almost at the Rugby Club, which I managed to snatch a couple of shots of while it fed and collected stonefly and other larvae; presumably feeding young.  Nearby a Goldfinch perched up unusually close and for a long enough period to get some shots, although it was in the shade.
