  • Northern Shoveler
    The Northern Shoveler is a common and widespread duck, found across the northern regions of North America, Europe and Asia. Its an unmistakable duck due to its spatulate bill, unable to be mistaken for any other similar duck in its range.</br></br>In the UK we are home to up to 20% of the entire Northwestern European population. Its found year round, but found more often in the winter months. The breeding population moves south in the winter where their numbers here are replaced by an influx of continental birds from the north. This is not a gregarious duck, only forming small flocks, even outside of the breeding season.

  • 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.
