Unique in that they’re the world’s only aquatic passerine, Dippers are a common sight along fast-flowing rivers.

They're fascinating to watch as they forage in strong undercurrents despite their small size, emerging onto rocks clutching insects or clumps of moss to line their nests 🪹

A deceased Puffin lies on its back on the ground. Wording above reads: Please report sightings of all dead birds. A graphic showing an exclamation mark in a triangle features.

⚠️ We've had reports of seabirds washing up. Please report ALL species of dead birds ⬇️

It may still be winter but we think seabirds deserve our appreciation all year!

In just a couple of months, species such as Puffins, Gannets, Common Terns and Fulmars will make their way back to the UK's coastal habitats to raise the next generation of seabirds.
