| Description: |
Adults of Gray Plover have black neck and face with a thick white border, black breast and a white rump. They also have black bill and legs. In winter they are fairly gray above with a gray-speckled breast and white belly.
This bird is nearly worldwide in its distribution, particularly when not breeding. However, they only overwinter here in the UK, as their breeding range is in N. Russia, N. North America and arctic islands. However non-breeding birds will stay in their wintering grounds until their 2nd year.

| Description: |
The Great-Crested Grebe is an excellent swimmer and diver, the young able to do so almost immediately after hatching. The adults are unmistakable in summer with bright rusty colors on their head and neck. The hatchlings are striped black and white, much like a zebra. It is the largest grebe in europe.
The species was almost hunted to extinction in the 19th century, but thanks to the RSPB, it is now a common sight.
