  • Lapwing
    The Northern Lapwing, also commonly known here in the UK as the Peewit, Green Plover, or just Lapwing, is a wader in the plover family. Its rounded wings make it quite distinctive in the air. It has a black crest, body plumage mainly black and white but having a green tint to its back feathers. It’s also got the shortest legs of any other plover.<br/><br/> It’s a very migratory bird, however the UK is a bit unique as it is here year-round. We have both breeders, passage migrants, and winter visitors. You can see these birds both on coastal mudflats, and in fields further inland. Another tidbit on this bird is how it got its name of Peewit, which comes from its distinctive shrill calls.

  • Little Stint
    The little stint is a tiny wading bird with a short straight fine black bill and medium-length black legs. Autumn birds have two pale stripes or 'braces' down the back. It does not breed in the UK, but is a passage migrant, with most birds being juveniles seen in autumn. It is much scarcer in spring, when small numbers of adults are seen, and a very few birds spend the winter here, most migrating to Africa. Often seen with feeding Dunlin.

    Blackwood
  • Atlantic Puffin
    An unmistakable bird with its black back and white underparts, and distinctive black head with large pale cheeks and a tall, flattened, brightly-coloured bill. Its comical appearance is heightened by its red and black eye-markings and bright orange legs. Used as a symbol for books and other items, this clown among seabirds is one of the world's favourite birds. With half of the UK population at only a few sites it is an Amber List species.
