Short Description:

Large water side bird, actions similar to any dipper. Adult is entirely brown, lacking white throat and breast of White-throated. Juvenile from juvenile White-throated by browner coloration with conspicuous spotting on upperparts, extensive dark scaling on underparts, and prominent pale fringes to wing.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast

In Pakistan, the Brown Dipper primarily inhabits mountainous regions, particularly in the northern parts of the country where there are fast-flowing streams and rivers. They are often found near clean, clear water bodies with rocky substrates, which provide ideal hunting grounds for their aquatic prey.

Forages on riverbed, by diving from rock into fast-flowing water. Swims on surface; on calmer pools and tarns, frequently dives from a floating position. Diet mainly aquatic invertebrates, especially mayfly and stonefly nymphs, larvae of caddis flies and other similar items.
