Stephanie Tyler Author & Editor

Stephanie Tyler, the Conservation Officer of the RSPB in Wales, has studied Welsh Dippers for 20 years and also travelled to Canada, California, the Andes and Nepal in her quest to observe the other four dipper species. In 1984, Steve Ormerod from the University of Wales at Cardiff added his skills as an invertebrate biologist to her work on the distribution of Dippers in relation to food supply. In this book they bring together their own work with that of others to paint a picture of Dipper biology worldwide. Territorial behaviour, breeding biology, diet, movements and population dynamics are all discussed in relation to the Dippers' adaptations to an aquatic lifestyle.
