Dippers on the Beck
From £32.00
A pair of white-throated dippers work a rocky stream, one perched mid-song and the other half-submerged in the current. Dippers are one of the few songbirds that swim and walk underwater to feed, which makes moments like this, both out of the water at once, worth waiting for.

The white-throated dipper is one of the only British songbirds that swims, walking along the riverbed underwater and even flying through the current to feed on insect larvae among the stones. It needs fast, clean, well-oxygenated streams to survive, making it a reliable sign of healthy upland water.
