White-throated Dipper

Quite a small bird found around moving water, e.g. alpine rivers with lots of rocks. This bird is an excellent diver. It almost looks like a penguin when it moves under water and pops up through the water surface. The bird is quite shy though, flies alone the course of the river in an amazing speed and high frequency wing movements when it feels one's presence. It often perches on rocks and leaves white marks. Its nests seem to be in between rocks and even behind water falls.
