  • White-throated Dipper is the species of Dipper bird that is found across Europe and parts of Asia. In this video I show you how I got close to a Dipper to make this clip about bird photography and video. White-throated Dipper, Cinclus cinclus, inhabits fast-flowing streams and rivers, usually in mountainous or hilly areas, with lots of rocks in them to act as perches. Dippers are charismatic birds with their striking plumage and bobbing "dipper dance" and a sign of a healthy watercourse. White-throated Dipper is the national bird of Norway.

    Nice one Nick.... I love dippers, and I've been wracking my brain trying to remember where I used to watch them regularly in the past. It must have been somewhere in South Wales too, where I lived as a teenager.

      They are lovely aren't they? I don't often see them either as I don't live in the right part of the country for them. This spot in the Brecon Beacons National Park is always good for them though.

    Wonderful, Nick! Great, clear, sharp video. And I didn't know (d'oh...) that their movement/bobbing up and down was for blending in with the movement of the water. Thank you!!!

    Blimey Nick...what a cool video about dippers, I will be back👍👍. Would you suggest any tips to attract pinches into my garden pls? I am planning on a bird feeder or squirrel feeder from Recycled materials. I have fully supported you and warmly welcome you to enjoy few of mine when you get a moment 😍👍

    • @BirdingwithNick
      @BirdingwithNick  3 года назад

      Certainly. Finches enjoy small seeds, so the type of feeder that dispenses seeds close to the bottom with small perches close to the holes should be easy enough to make from an old plastic bottle.
