Two good shots Ian ,
Dipper's the pick for me. I'll admit, I thought you'd lost some of the whites but after checking you haven't, maybe pull the highlights down a little just in that area?
The Kingfisher is superb but let down by the fencing, as much as I try I cant see round it!

I am very jealous. I love photograping wildlife but the only kingfisher I've ever seen was just a blue flash. How do you guys do it? I could go to a paid hide of course and I may do yet but I would love to see, let alone photograph a wild one, especially with my dog in tow.
Lovely images, I love the dipper, now I do have loads of photos of them as we have them on our doorstep, almost literally.

Thank you for all the nice comments folks
Cheers Phil, I'll look at pulling the whites down, and I totally agree about the fence, my favorite shot from yesterday is this one
thank you Wez, I usually shoot a burst of three when photographing birds, I find that one shot out of the three is always slightly sharper (that may just be my technique that's not very good), with the V2 on silent it's a little harder to judge a burst of three, if I tell the truth I thought I had it set on 5 fps not 15fps, but yes I shoot in bursts
Thank you Dale, I'm retired so I get out at least three times a day with the dog, and it's very rare I don't take the camera with me, so days like this come along once in awhile, there are lots of times I see nothing at all on our walks, it's a case of put in the hours take out the profits, if you have Dippers on your doorstep, I hope you have good damp proofing lol

Fantastic images with the V2 and at those shutter speeds
I was out for a couple of hours with mine yesterday, took 400-odd shots and binned them all lol.
Are you shooting in bursts of 15 fps?
