White-throated dipper
Cinclus cinclus
European dipper is a small starling sized bird. In Finland it can be found by swiftly running water during winter, usually from October to April. Most of the around 5000 dippers that spend their winter here are breeding in northern Norway, sweden and NW Russia. Finnish lapland only has estimated 250-350 breeding pairs.
Thank you for watching and thank you for this lovely bird who trusted me after two days of trying. :) -Tatu
