Dunsford Dippers

Dunsford in Devon is a favourite haunt of mine. I often visit in May or June in search of all sorts of species.
One in particular is the Dipper. A unique freshwater bird that dives for aquatic invertebrates.
I had some amazing footage of an adult using an invertebrate as some sort of water repellency, rubbing it all over it's feathers before eating it. Never witnessed that before.
