Not only were there dippers dipping, but there was also a wagtail wagging!

I hadn’t quite got the hang of the zoom on the camera when I took this shot, but you can still make out two dippers and the wagtail, both on the same patch.

The grey wagtail is so yellow, that when spotted it’s easy to come to the conclusion that it must be a yellow wagtail. Yellow wagtails, however, are so called because they are yellowy on top, rather than grey like the grey wagtail.
