Early morning, cold and misty. Hard to catch the bird.


And my little friend, the White-throated dipper - Strömstare

As far as I know there are three kinds of dippers in the world and I have seen them. 
There are also a lot of subspecies. But those I have not seen. 


The little fella in the video, is the one from the image above. As I have no tripod, and a phone is quite tricky when it is windy you might be a bit dizzy. But I think you survive. I did. 😂

Take care everyone from both Corona and Politics.

  1. Hello,

    The Dippers are a great find! I think your White-throated Dipper is prettier than the US Dipper. But, both are great birds to see. I enjoyed the video. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, stay safe! Enjoy your weekend! PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

  7. Dippers are the most wonderful little birds and captivate even the indifferent casual observer. Of the five species in the world the only one I have not experienced is the Rufous-fronted Dipper of northern Argentina/southern Bolivia, and at this stage of my life, especially with the pandemic preventing travel, I doubt that I ever will.

  10. I never even heard of dipper birds before this summer. Your video's pretty neat. Is the bird eating off the bottom of the stream when it is in it?

  13. De er så fine :) Kjempebra bilder og film!
    Fossekallen er faktisk norges nasjonalfugl. Jeg bor rett ved en foss hvor de finnes, men har aldri greid å ta bilde eller film av dem.
