Welsh Dipper at Gliffaes Hotel, Powys

VIDEO: Adult White-throated Dipper on the River Usk at Gliffaes Hotel on 24 June 2017. Its behaviour in the swift current makes this is one of my favourite birds. Watch it turn over rocks like a turnstone in search of food.

 

VIDEO: It was delightlful to find this juvenile White-throated Dipper (hatched this summer) in the same general location on the River Usk at Gliffaes Hotel on 24 June 2017. It was aged by the white front that extends to the legs, and pale tips to the wing coverts.

 

I first spotted this adult White-throated Dipper on 23 June 2017, same spot as last year.
