A white throated dipper hunting for breakfast on the river Wharfe.

Taken on a grey overcast morning under tree cover I was amazed to get these "action" pictures of a white throated dipper hunting on the river Wharfe. Given that these were taken hand-held from the riverbank, using a full 600mm zoom with a f/6.3 aperture and a 12800 ISO, I am delighted that this actually worked.

The images are the result of some very heavy cropping so try not to pixel peep.
