Pu\u00f2 essere trovato in ruscelli e fiumi con acque poco profonde e correnti rapide. Il canto del Merlo acquaiolo \u00e8 spesso udibile sopra il rumore dell&#8217;acqua corrente. Nidifica tra marzo e maggio, costruendo nidi a forma di cupola vicino all&#8217;acqua, spesso sotto ponti, tra le rocce o anche dietro delle cascate. Pu\u00f2 anche camminare sul fondo dei corsi d&#8217;acqua in cerca di cibo.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b133c4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"8b133c4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Situazione nella Svizzera italiana<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f69e84a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f69e84a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"font_8\">Il Merlo acquaiolo \u00e8 ben distribuito in Svizzera e in Ticino grazie alla fitta rete di corsi d&#8217;acqua che soddisfano le sue esigenze.
