Videod in Upper Dove Dale in the Derbyshire Dales, England in June 1995. A white-throated dipper of the british race (Cinclus cinclus gularis) catches Mayflies (Ephemeroptera) and takes them to its young in a nest concealed in the root ball of a fallen Crack Willow (Salix fragilis). The bird repeatedly took the same route to the nest.
very nice . . I know this required great patience . . .good work!

Thanks - it's a mix of 4 recorded trips that the bird took - other trips were not recorded. The other parent was coming in from the other direction.
