  • Buzzard
    The Common Buzzard is a wide-spread member of the buteo family, ranging across europe and spilling over into Asia as well. It is mainly an opportunist hunter, going for small mammals and carrion. What's surprising about this bird is that you can find it perched on the ground in a field, sometimes with many other buzzards, hunting for worms and insects.</br> This bird can easily be confused with the rough-legged buzzard in Europe. Here in the UK, the plumage can range widely from almost pure white to almost pure black. But most of the birds in the UK are a rusty brown with a speckly brown belt across a pale breast.

  • Iceland Gull
    A medium-size gull, smaller than most herring gulls. It has a rounded head and smallish beak, giving it a dove-like expression. It has very pale plumage and white wing tips, and, like the glaucous gull, it is sometimes referred to as a 'white-winged' gull. It is a winter visitor, with small numbers of birds, usually seen singly. It breeds in the Arctic and winters as far south as New York and Britain.

  • Red Knot
    The adult Red Knot has short dark legs and a medium thin dark bill. Their body is mottled gray on top with a reddish face, throat and breast. In the winter it is pale gray all over. <br/><br/> There are 6 subspecies of the knot, one of which is severely endangered. The American subspecies has been predicted to be extinct as early as 2010 due to overfishing of their primary food source – the horseshoe crab in the Delaware Bay, a primary stopover point for this migrating bird. <br/><br/> This bird visits the UK shores in the winter, migrating south to Africa, and the areas surrounding Australia. <br/><br/>

  • White Winged Crossbill
    The white winged crossbill is a resident of the pine forests of North America, with their european counterpart spread across the northern regions of Europe and Asia. With their specialist bills, they mainly eat the seeds of pine cones. This bird is mainly resident, but will irrupt into more southern parts of the US when the food in their ranges runs scarce. They seem to move around more than their european counterpart, the Two Barred Crossbill.</br></br> What is interesting about this bird is that they are opportunistic breeders, meaning they breed whenever the conditions favor it and their food sources abundant. They have been know to breed in all 12 months of the year, according to All About Birds website.
