The dippers song is short but brilliant, and very much like thatof the wren in character; it is heard most frequently in the loveseason, and occasionally in autumn and in winter, when the sunshines, even during very cold weather. The nest is made among the rocks, usually in a crevice, and isvery large for the size of the bird, being sometimes a foot across,and is globular in form, with a small opening near the top. It iscomposed principally of moss, loosely felted, the inside lined withdry grass, fine rootlets, and dead leaves. Four to six eggs are laid,pure white, and unspotted. The dipper is most common in mountainous districts in Scotland,Ireland, and Wales, and is found in suitable localities in England. The black-billed dipper (Cinclus melanogaster), the Scandinavianand North Russian form of Cinclus aquaticus, has been met withon two or three occasions as a straggler to the east coast ofEngland.
