Fancy a dip? For most of us, it's still a bit too cold to consider swimming or diving outdoors. But this bird is a sub-aqua specialist...
It's a dipper, a bird that looks a bit like a thrush but is actually in a family of its own. And believe it or not, it feeds by diving into rivers and streams and grabbing small fish and aquatic bugs! The dipper has special eyelids which act as swimming goggles. And when it's found its food, it simply bobs to the surface like a cork and jumps out.
Though it may seem early, at this time of year, male dippers are beginning to sing. So if you're walking along a stream in the hillier areas of the UK, listen out for them above the roar of the water.

Love this - it must have been pretty dark to blur the water and get the bird sharp. Widh I lived where they do - saw my first dippers in the Findhorn valley in the Cairngorms, doubt I'll see many round Bromley!
Not jealous in the slightest!
