  • Dunlin
    Dunlins in breeding plumage have a roufus coloration on top, with a distinctive black belly which no similar-sized wader possesses, making it stand out amongst other waders. In the winter they’re a drab gray on top and white underneath. Both legs and their slightly curved bill are black. This bird can easily be confused (in autumn in particular) with the curlew sandpiper, as the bills of dunlin can be quite long and quite curved. <br/><br/> According to the BTO website, 3 subspecies visit our shores. The subspecies schinzii breed here but travel to Africa for the winter. Birds from western Siberia winter here, and occasionally small numbers of Greenland breeders pass through in autumn on their way to Africa.

  • Stonechat
    Stonechats are european 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 males 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. <br/>They breed in western and southern parts of the UK, but disperse more widely in winter. Although the species is not faring too badly in the UK, it is doing less well on the continent and is of European conservation concern, making it an Amber List species. -rspb
