Dipper was feeding at the second weir around 4:15 today.
As the stepping stones are under water I crossed the lasher and walked through the undergrowth to the second weir. It's not much of a track but you can get through.
It was hidden underneath the bush to the right of the weir when I arrived and could easily be overlooked here.

Dipper seen this afternoon at the weir along the Windrush in Witney near Crawley Road (per Andy Tolley)...

- Witney Dipper
No sign of the Dipper yesterday from 4:30pm The water level is rising fast and the stepping stones are now under water. Still looks good at the lasher but more difficult to get to the other area now....
- Crawley Weir 27th Sept - Dipper Not Seen 11am To 1pm
Just a flying lunchtime visit for 30 mins. One other hopeful chap was already at the weir and had been there for over an hour when I arrived. No sighting of the Dipper during that time around immediate area of the weir....
- Dipper Success!
Roger Wyatt has just texted that he's seen the dipper at the weir off the Crawley Road at Witney...
