  • 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.

  • Bullfinch
    A finch usually located by its sad tones, the bullfinch is best looked for at woodland edges. It has in the past been considered a pest in orchards as it favours eating buds off the trees. But due to recent declines in numbers, this is no longer strictly the case.</br> It's a mainly resident bird in its breeding range, with some of these birds moving a bit further south in the winter. They are resident in the UK year round. You will also find this bird in europe and the temperate regions of asia.

  • 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.

    The long-tailed tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive colouring, a tail that is bigger than its body, and undulating flight. Gregarious and noisy residents, long-tailed tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes.

  • Stonechat
    Stonechats are robin sized birds. Males have striking black heads with white around the side of their neck, orange-red breasts and a mottled brown back. Females lack the male's black head, but have brown backs and an orange tinge to their chests. Birds are frequently seen flicking their wings while perched, often doing so on the tops of low bushes. As its name suggests, birds utter a sharp loud call that sound like two stones being tapped together. They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but disperse more widely in winter.
