As a general rule, White-throated Dippers tend to prefer the fast-flowing parts of the river they live in. However, this unusual and atypical individual had its favoured fishing spot in a calm pond close by. The tranquil surface of the water was a perfect mirror and created an almost flawless reflection, the effect enhanced by the dark backdrop of the surroundings.
