Juliet Vickery on the Dipper

Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about birds inspired by their calls, songs and behaviour.

CEO of the British Trust for Ornithology Juliet Vickery fell in love with dippers while studying them during her PhD in south-west Scotland. She finds them packed full of character, and perfectly adapted to life between water and land. Dippers have to make sure their complex song is heard above the sound of rushing water, and for Juliet the combination of bubbling bird song and bubbling brook is completely magical.

Produced by Sophie Anton for BBC Audio in Bristol.
