  • 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.

  • Curlew
    The Eurasian Curlew is the largest of all the waders in its range, at 50-57cm in height with a generous 1 meter wingspan. What makes this bird especially unique to Britain is that it’s one of the only places in Europe where it does not migrate, staying year round. In the winter they tend to gather in good-sized groups, though very wary of any disturbances. The only similar bird in its range is the Whimbrel, which is generally a smaller bird with a shorter, more downturned bill compared to the smooth downward curve of the curlew.This bird is mainly greyish brown, white on the back, and a very long curved bill.
