  • Blue winged Teal
    The Blue winged Teal is a small dabbling duck, where its placement is no means a certainty. The coloring is remarkably similar to the Australasian Shoveler, but genetic testing shows that its nearly identical to that of the Cinnamon Teal. Occasional visitors come to the British Isles, distinct from the local Eurasian Teals and Garganey by their yellow legs and distinct white facial marking.

  • Goldcrest Fledgling
    The Goldcrest has the pride of place as Europes smallest bird, weighing as little as 5 grams. This member of the kinglet family is very similar to the Firecrest, but with its plainer face makes it pretty easy to distinguish between the two. </br></br> This bird is partially migratory, but this bird does stay year-round here in the UK. You can typically find this bird with flocks of tits in the winter months.

The sexes are similar, with the most striking feature being the red flanks and underwing, in addition to the creamy white streak over the eye. They are migratory, they only visit the UK in the winter.<br/> They often form loose flocks of 10 up to 200 or more birds. Frequently seen in the company of Fieldfares.

  • Mellers Duck
    The Mellers Duck is a dabbling duck endemic to eastern Madagascar. Although there was a population established on Mauritius back in the 18th Century, this population due to competition with feral duck populations and habitat loss is nearly extinct.</br></br>This duck is on the endangered classification due to huge recent habitat destruction, causing many birds, including this one, to have a massive decline in numbers. And although this bird will breed readily given the right conditions, because of it being near in looks to the female mallard, and at that considered a rather drab duck, very little has been done to preserve this duck.

  • Common Crane
    The Common or Eurasian Crane is a medium sized crane that ranges across the northern parts of Europe and Asia. This bird became extinct in the UK in the 17th century, but now a smallish group are now breeding in the Norfolk broads. This population is reported to also be on the rise. The WWT Slimbridge is currently in the works to breed a small group of cranes in captivity with some remarkable success. Aims are to establish this bird in good numbers here in the UK once again.

  • 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.
