Bring the beauty of Exmoor’s rivers into your home with this striking Dipper fine art print. Captured on a fast-flowing river in the heart of Exmoor National Park, this image combines patience, skill, and precise technique. Using a slow shutter speed of 1/15 sec, the flowing water takes on a soft, cotton-candy effect while the UK’s only aquatic songbird remains perfectly sharp — a rare balance of motion and stillness.
This award-recognised image was a Finalist in Bird Photographer of the Year (2021) and Wildlife Photographer of the Year (2022), making it a true collector’s piece for bird lovers, nature enthusiasts, and fine art collectors alike. Now available exclusively on my website.
The white-throated dipper is a distinctive little bird and the UK’s only truly aquatic songbird. Recognisable by its dark brown body, short tail, and bright white throat and breast, it thrives along fast-flowing rivers and streams. Perfectly adapted to life on the water, the dipper can dive and walk along riverbeds in search of aquatic insects and larvae. Its cheerful, bobbing movements and sweet song make it a favourite among birdwatchers, while its presence is also a sign of clean, healthy waterways.
