Short Description:

The White-throated Dipper (Cinclus cinclus) is a small, stout bird with a distinctive white throat and breast. It has dark brown plumage with a contrasting white belly. Its unique feature is its ability to dive and swim underwater to forage for aquatic invertebrates.

In Pakistan, the White-throated Dipper is primarily found in the northern regions, particularly in the mountainous areas near fast-flowing streams and rivers. It inhabits areas with clean, unpolluted water, such as alpine streams, where it builds its mossy nest close to the water’s edge.

White-throated Dippers are solitary and territorial birds. They have a characteristic bobbing motion and often perch on rocks or branches near water, where they frequently dip into the water to catch prey. They are highly adapted to their aquatic lifestyle, using their wings to swim underwater in search of food. During breeding season, pairs engage in elaborate courtship displays and both parents participate in raising the young.
