Spent an hour down at Witney dipping the dipper; one photographer down there had been there over three hours without luck.
Please note, residents have been complaining about birders parking by the start of the footpath on Crawley Road and even called out the police this lunch-time. It is suggested that people park a short distance away where the road is wider and there are pavements on both sides of the road.

Dipper seen this afternoon at the weir along the Windrush in Witney near Crawley Road (per Andy Tolley)...
- Dipper Dipping!!!
No sign of the Dipper today from 09:30 till 15:30. Also concur with previous comment regarding parking. I got a warning note from the police. They suggest parking on side roads. Cheers Paul...

Roger Wyatt has just texted that he's seen the dipper at the weir off the Crawley Road at Witney...
- Witney Dipper Still About
It appears that the dipper that was seen in Witney a month or so ago has been seen (and photographed) again on a few occasions over the past month. It has been seen on or just below a small concrete weir which leads into a side channel of the Windrush....
