Dipper [Cinclus cinclus]

Found along fast-flowing rivers, mainly in upland areas but also on lowland rivers in SW England. Look for tell-tale droppings on stones in the river.

  1. Lieber Bob,
    wieder ein Vogel, der sehr selten gesehen wird.

    Einen schönen Sonntagabend wünscht Dir

  3. Superb shot of the Dipper and it's inner eyelid.
    I really will have o make an effort as there are plenty about up here. I didn't know folk ringed Dippers. They move fast but don't move far.

    1. The camouflage is why it is hard to see Karen.
