Despite still wading through Waxwing images - the seasons and time are still moving on, and down on the river the Grey Wagtails and Dippers are busy preparing to nest.

Even though the river levels are high with all the rain that has fallen, these little birds battle to both feed and collect nesting material in the torrents of water pouring down the rivers.
