This image was Birdguides photo of the week for week ending 15 March 2012. Below is the citation.

"Devon-based bird photographer Charlie Fleming uses the tried-and-tested approach adopted by many of the world's top wildlife photographers, namely to spend day after day revisiting the same subjects in the same location. One of the key advantages of this approach is the increased likelihood of being present when the subjects do something unusual. This approach has helped Charlie to win two previous Photos of the Week and has now earned him a third. His latest image has come out of a month-long project to photograph local Dippers, several images from which he has shared through BirdGuides. On this occasion, the Dipper managed to catch a good-sized Salmon Parr - a much bigger prey item than usual - which it then beat against a boulder before struggling to swallow. Charlie's image is perfectly timed to freeze the action, document the behaviour and sum up the event."
