We woke to a stiff westerly, a crust of slushy snow and occasional, short snow-showers, nothing to put us off from our daily walk which took us down to the Golspie Burn and onto the footbridge where we spotted....
....the two dippers we've been watching - but this time they were, despite the snow and a temperature struggling to reach 3C, evidently in....

....performed a short dance, twisting and turning and....
....shaking his tail at the, rather dismissive, female - rather like we used to do all the years ago.
We left them chasing each other up and down the burn but when we returned what we took to be the male was almost under the footbridge - he's visible at bottom left - where he gave us....
....a fine photo opportunity.
