  • Great Cormorant
    The Great Cormorant is a very large black bird. With a longish tail and yellow throat patch, the adults have white thigh patches in the breeding season. It can be distinguished from the very similar Shag by its lack of green tinge and lack of crest. An extremely wide spread bird, its breeding range extends all over europe and asia, south across africa, to the atlantic coast of North America.

  • Chough
    While its black plumage identifies it as a crow, the chough (pronounced 'chuff') has a red bill and legs unlike any other member of the crow family. It has a restricted westerly distribution in the British Isles and because of its small population size and historically declining populations it is an Amber List species. It readily displays its mastery of flight with wonderful aerial displays of diving and swooping. Found in flocks in autumn and winter.

  • 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.

  • Oystercatcher Fledgling
    The Eurasian Oystercatcher, otherwise known as a Pied Oystercatcher or just Oystercatcher here in the UK is part of the oystercatcher family. Its the only one to occur here in the UK, although there are 3 subspecies of this oystercatcher in Europe and some of Asia. Its highly migratory but we are lucky enough to have this bird stay here year round. This bird as an adult has black above, white underneath, and a vividly red legs and bill which makes this striking bird really stand out amongst other waders. Despite its name, it does not primarily hunt for oysters, however its one of, if not the only wader to be able to pry open these tough creatures. What makes this bird really unique is that the shape of the bill varies depending on which type of food it specializes in. Birds that focus on molluscs have broad bill tips, where birds that specialize with unearthing worms tend to have pointed bills.
