Dippers in Numberland (1 Viewer)

As I am going to beadnell for my break on Saturday, one of the key species that I love to see are dipper. I was going to ask what locations around seahouses, beadnell people would regularly go to, to have a look.

I was mapping the area and came across chatton and the stretch of the river till, also I thought the area surrounding warkworth castle looked rather promising.

Whilst I don't expect nest sites etc, would these be good enough suggestions?

Many thanks

Any of the rivers in the Cheviots will do well - a good spot to look is from the ford at North Middleton here (zoom out to get road context!). Quite often you'll see them there without even getting out of the car (you get wet feet if you do!! :-O). Don't try this site after heavy rain though as the ford can then be dangerous.

Hi Steve. If you are prepared to travel Chatton, why not carry on through Wooler to here?

This is called Harthope Valley and you are guaranteed to see Dipper here. If you don't see one from the bridge just follow the river up the valley. You might even see one from your car.
