Dipper on the Aberglaslyn

Take a walk from Beddgelert along the Aberglaslyn to Nantmor and you will no doubt see a Dipper along the way!

The Dipper is one of my all time favourite birds - it is the only aquatic songbird, swimming underwater and walking along riverbeds in search of invertebrates in the stones below.

That famous 'dip' you see is something they instinctively do as soon as they leave the nest and if you watch a dipper you'll see that it dips in perfect synchrony with its blink. The same moment it bobs, a white membrane flicks across the eye.

They are an indicator species meaning that if you see one it is a sign of a healthy river.
