The Dipper Cinclus cinclus with its white bib and bobbing posture, can be found throughout Britain around fast-flowing upland streams and rivers. Dippers feed on underwater invertebrates, such as freshwater shrimps, stonefly and caddis fly larvae, by walking straight into the water, and by gripping the riverbed stones with its toes, can stay immersed in the flow for several minutes.
