  • Lesser Black-backed Gull
    Slightly smaller than a herring gull, the lesser black-backed gull has a dark grey to black back and wings, yellow bill and yellow legs. Their world population is found entirely in Europe. After declines in the 19th century due to persecution they increased their range and numbers. This expansion has now halted and there is serious concern about declines in many parts of its range. The species is on the Amber List because the UK is home to 40% of the European population and more than half of these are found at fewer than ten sites.

  • Little Egret
    Until the 1950s, the little egret was restricted to southern europe. Gradually it has started to move north, and finally started breeding in the UK in the late 20th century. This is an all-white bird with a dark bill, dark legs and yellow feet. In the breeding season you will see the skin on the face become red or blue. Juveniles are similar but have duller legs and feet than the non-breeding adults.

  • Greenshank

  • Pied Wagtail
    A common and familiar bird, the pied wagtail is often seen in towns and cities, dashing across lawns, roads and car parks while wagging its long tail up and down. Pied wagtails eat insects but will feed on seeds and even rubbish in winter. They flock together at warm roost sites like reedbeds and sewage works or trees and bushes in city centres. In summer they defend breeding territories and will nest in ivy, under roofs, in walls, between stones; in all kinds of places!

    The Southern Screamer, also known as the Crested Screamer, is found in the swamps, estuaries and pools of South America. These birds are monogamous, mating for life, which can be up to 15 yrs. The chicks of these birds leave the nest as soon as they hatch, but the parents will take care of them during the fledging period. This bird is non-migratory despite being an excellent flier.
