On the way back home from Norfolk today, we called in at Thetford to ‘collect’ the Black-bellied Dipper, which has been hanging around on the river there since New Year. A muddy 100 yd walk from the Nunn’s Bridges Road car park and ‘bingo’ there it was. And very obliging it was too. Dipper is a Norfolk ‘tick’ for me and if they should split cinclus (Black-bellied) from gularis, the British race, it’ll be a ‘life’ tick!
