Bird of the day

In the Guardian's Country Diary, Susue White watches the dippers:

As a child, I first saw a dipper walking underwater below Jedburgh Abbey. Through the clarity of the Jed, I marvelled as it picked food from the gravel bed; mayfly nymphs, caddisfly larvae and tiny fish such as minnows are in its diet.

Birds that walk under water. I am impressed.
