(Hart.).

 Rare visitor, recorded once only, on Snowdon. 



28. — DIPPER. Cinclus cinclus britannicus Tsch. 



Resident ; common on rapid streams everywhere, but in Anglesey naturally

With reference to the Dipper singing in winter Mr. Ruddy 

 records that on January 4th, 1908, when the Dee at Llangollen 

 was partially frozen over, several Dippers were running merrily 

 about on the ice and singing as joyfully as if it were summer. 



In Anglesey Mr. H. King has met with this species on the 

 River Braint. 



The stomachs of two from Colomendy and two from Colwyn 

 Bay examined by Dr. R. Newstead in 1908, were f oimd to contain 

 Caddis-worms, water-beetles, and Entomostraca. 



Mr. Oldham remarks that the Dipper has a considerable 

 range in altitude : At Old Coh^yn it nests at sea level, while

 Cwm Glas, SnoAvdon.
