Results in brief, as follows;

Bridges checked 41
Dippers found 44
Dippers caught 37 (28 adults and 9 juvs)
New birds 9 (4 adults and 5 juvs)
New colour-marked birds 29

Groin injuries sustained 0!

 Look no hands!   Last dipper photo for a while.
This bird is an adult male, note the chestnut tinge to the eye and the lack of white tips on the primary and greater coverts.
