The white-throated dipper (Cinclus cinclus) is a dumpy aquatic bird with a short tail, that was named ater its bobbing or dipping movements.
The dipper bird is usually found in suitable freshwater habitats in the highlands of the Americas, Europe and Asia. It’s usually seen bobbing up and down on a rock in mid-stream, flying low over the water, or following the winding course of a creek.
