The subspecies of dipper in Ireland are actually almost completely endemic to the island (but apparently they are also in Western Scotland). They differ from other subspecies by their thin rusty band below the white breast, and have darker brown upperparts.

They are always such a pleasure to see (although all birds are).

Red-necked Grebe and baby.

I was sooo excited when I saw them, it took me a couple tries to get a photo of the parent feeding the baby. But so cute.
