00:00I've got one on the rock over there, diving in the car and managed to get some footage.
00:21So, good morning.
00:24Today I'm leaving the Pimlos Mountains
00:27I'm heading north towards Thessaloniki
00:31but before I go, I wanted to come by this other stone arch bridge that I wanted to show you
00:39just behind me here
00:42it's a lovely old bridge
00:45and the Voidamati River is in full flow
00:48or almost full flow
00:50with all the snowfall and mountains
00:56because I wanted to have a go, not at photographing the bridge
00:59because at this time of day it's in shadow in the morning
01:04later on the sun will swing around and it lights up the bridge quite beautifully
01:08but I'll be gone by then
01:09but what I wanted to have a go at finally
01:14is a little bird
01:17that lives up and down this river
01:21which is called White-Throated Dipper
01:25I'm just going to cross over this bridge
01:29and go for a walk along the river and see what I can see
01:34while the river is in year and watching
01:42and it's a little bit of a walk across the river
01:42here I want to be able to walk over again
01:43and go for a walk in the river
01:46have got up here
01:47has got up here
01:52and it's a little bit of a walk
01:57here
02:15So I found this little spot just by the water's edge and I'm hoping that I sit very still
02:24at some point along this opposite bank here where there's lots of other perches, there's
02:30rushing water which they, dippers like because that's where they dive in and churn up the rocks
02:37to see if they can find any larvae or little shrimps or anything like that to eat.
02:44So I'm hoping I sit quietly and still enough here, I'll be lucky enough to spot one.
02:50So just a question of waiting and trying to keep warm at the same time because it is about
02:57minus six at the minute and hopefully something will turn up so we'll see a little bit.
03:12Well I've given it about half an hour and so far I've seen nothing and not even a fly
03:19past so because my bottom is freezing here I'm going to walk for a little bit and try
03:27and find another location.
03:37Okay time to move.
03:40So I've only got about an hour left before I have to make a move so I'll try a little
03:47bit
03:47further downstream.
03:53The sun has moved round a little bit now so I might find a spot that's in the sun and
03:59a little bit warmer to sit in.
04:03So I'm just heading back down towards the bridge.
04:18And I've just spotted one over by the rocks there.
04:25Let's see if I can get down without scaring him off.
04:31He's just dived in the water.
04:49Lost it.
04:55I hope you can hear me over this white water.
04:59But I've relocated again to a spot literally 20 yards from where I sat down where I saw the
05:06cormorant and the dipper because I'm slightly less conspicuous here than I was there.
05:15And I'm also more at the same level as the waterfall so it's a lower angled shot if you
05:29come back and I should happen to be able to take some images of them.
05:35So I'm going to hang out here for a little bit and hopefully the little dipper might come
05:43back.
05:46It's a little bit warmer here too.
05:48It's a little bit warmer here too.
06:03So I've got one on the rock over there.
06:06I've been diving in and out.
06:07I've managed to get some footage.
06:09I've managed to get some pictures too of me.
06:13So we'll be seeing that for just a second.
06:20It's actually a pair.
06:43It's actually a pair.
06:46It's absolutely fabulous watching him.
06:48He's diving in and out of the water.
06:49It's amazing.
07:12It's just gone to another rock.
07:14I thought he had gone.
07:16He was on another little rock so I'm going to go down.
07:19I'm going to catch up with you in a little while.
07:46Yeah.
08:03Yeah.
08:16At this point is kinda nice.
09:24So I think I managed to capture a few images and a little bit of footage as well of the
09:28White Throat for Dipper.
09:30It was fun to be in his company for a while.
09:36I'm going to be in this stunning location.
09:40So I'm going to pack up now and head off to my next location which will be near Thessaloniki
09:46which is the capital of northern Greece.
09:51And hopefully I should be bringing you a couple of videos from there as well.
