@bjywamer thank you for your lovely comment.
Alway excited to see this little bird, in the village stream which only breaks the surface for an approximate 100 metres in length before it disappears again underground. usually it is a mere trickle but after heavy rain it can be quite a flow (which I think is what attracts this elusive beauty white-throated- dipper.
They are quite fascinating to watch. I have attached a couple of links which tells you more about them
