Spent 20 minutes or so watching two male dippers in a turf war along the river at Gara Bridge last week. Assume they were defending nests. Are there any bird experts out there who can confirm this...or otherwise? Wonderful to witness & more dramatic than "Line of Duty"....

Hi Lynne
Yes you are right, territories are being hammered out by lots of birds now. Dippers can overlap and disputes between pairs can be common.

Thanks Morecombe...
