The Dippers (Poyser) Stepanie Tyler & Stephen Ormerod Illustrated by Darren Rees
Dippers are the world's only truly aquatic passerine bird fascinating for their remarkable swimming and diving abilities, and the beauty of their preferred but threatened habitat, the fast flowing streams of the wild uplands. Territorial behaviour, breeding biology, diet, movements and population dynamics are all discussed in relation to the Dipper's adaptations to an aquatic lifestyle in environments coming under increasing pressure from man's current changes in land use.
