. Our favourite song birds ; their habits, music, and characteristics . roup of islands. THE DirPER CiNCLUS AQUATICUS The Dipper, Water Ouzel, or Water Crow as itis termed beyond the Border, has a very similar dis-tribution in the British Islands to that of the RingOuzel, and is confined to the mountainous districts.It is found locally in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset,thence northwards through most parts of Wales andthe mountains of the north of England to theBorder. In Scotland, as might be expected owingto the greater frequency of suitable haunts, it is morewidely dispersed, even reaching the outer Hebridesand the Orkneys. In Ireland, again, it is widelydistributed. The sedentary habits of the Dipper arefavourable to the preservation of slight local dif-ferences, so that throughout the Palaearctic Regionthere are many subspecific forms and climatic racesimpossible here to enumerate. The Dipper found inthe British Islands, if perfectly identical with conti-nental examples, has a very restricted European.ange. It is apparently found in Holland, Belgium,134. ^^^ Hi* H >l&KAa.y/ Dipper THE DIPPER 135 France and Germany, and perhaps in the IberianPeninsula ; but south of those Hmits it is replacedby Cinclus albicollis, and north of them by Cinclusmelanogaster, the latter occurring in the easterncounties of England as an abnormal migrant. There can be little doubt that the Dippers foundunder ordinary circumstances in the British Islandsare perfectly sedentary ; they have no cause to wan-der, and their haunts are tenable the year throughout.The haunts of this remarkable bird are the swift-flowing mountain streams, the rock-strewn, birch andalder-fringed torrents of the uplands and the moors.This species shows little or no partiality for trees, itis for the most part terrestrial or aquatic in its habits,and delights to live on the rocky banks of thestream, flitting from rock to rock before the observer,or flashing past him in rapid flight to a distantretreat, uttering a
