Dipper.

Species: Cinclus cinclus.

 

Location: River Goyt, Cheshire.

 

A medium-sized, plump bird, the dipper is often seen sitting on a stone in a river or stream, bobbing up and down. It can be found around fast-flowing streams and rivers, mostly in upland areas, It feeds on underwater invertebrates, such as stonefly and caddis fly larvae, by walking straight into, and completely under, the water to find them. Info: Wildlife Trust.
