Birds seen at the Clettwr

Just back from a very damp walk along the Clettwr with John. There were a couple of Dippers, one of which was very obliging. It seemed quite un-bothered by our presence and carried on about its business turning submerged leaves and other vegetation on the river bed to look for food. A handsome male Hen Harrier put in an appearance, a Snipe flew over and a few Redshank were calling as they darted about. But we did get very cold and soggy. Buster was with us, I was treated to the full-on aroma of wet dog all the way home.
