  • Eider
    The Common Eider is a true sea duck, found on the sea coasts across Europe and parts of North America. They are hardly ever found away from their seacoast home. It's primary diet is molluscs, which has caused some conflict with mussle farmers. This is also Britain's fastest flying duck, found year round off the coasts.</br></br> This bird is most well-known for what it lines its nests with, eiderdown feathers. It was most prized for filling pillows and quilts, however these days replaced with alternatives and synthetics. This practice does still continue, however is now carefully done and sustainable as they remove the down from the nest after the fledglings have left - causing no harm to the young.

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.

  • Carrion Crow
    The all-black carrion crow is one of the cleverest, most adaptable of our birds. It is often quite fearless, although it can be wary of man. They are fairly solitary, usually found alone or in pairs. The closely related hooded crow has recently been split as a separate species. Carrion crows will come to gardens for food and although often cautious initially, they soon learn when it is safe, and will return repeatedly to take advantage of whatever is on offer.

  • Black-tailed Godwit
    Adults of black-tailed godwits have a red neck, breast and belly during the breeding season, which turns to an off white in the winter seasons. The back remains a mottled grey all year round. Bills are very long with a very slight upward curve, pink at the base and black at the tip. <br/><br/> Interesting fact about this bird in the UK is that even though you can see these birds year-round here, they’re not the same birds. In fact our resident breeders leave our shores in the fall and we get an influx of the larger Icelandic black-tailed godwits visiting here. <br/><br/>You can see these birds both on fresh and salt water, whereas the similar bar-tailed godwits are only found on the coasts.
