A songbird that lives solely at the water’s edge unlike many of its passerine pals, the dipper and its lunch is the subject of this week’s photo of the week.
The dipper is a plump and short-tailed bird that has the remarkable knack of walking into and under the water in search of grub. This birdie’s catch of the day was too much for its underlings so he had to return it for a smaller model.
