  • Mellers Duck
    The Mellers Duck is a dabbling duck endemic to eastern Madagascar. Although there was a population established on Mauritius back in the 18th Century, this population due to competition with feral duck populations and habitat loss is nearly extinct.</br></br>This duck is on the endangered classification due to huge recent habitat destruction, causing many birds, including this one, to have a massive decline in numbers. And although this bird will breed readily given the right conditions, because of it being near in looks to the female mallard, and at that considered a rather drab duck, very little has been done to preserve this duck.

  • Eurasian Coots
    All-black and larger than its cousin, the moorhen, it has a distinctive white beak and 'shield' above the beak which earns it the title 'bald'. Its feet have distinctive lobed flaps of skin on the toes, which act instead of webs when swimming. It patters noisily over the water before taking off and can be very aggressive towards others.

  • Gadwall
    The Gadwall is a widespread dabbling duck, ranging from central North America to the Northern areas of Europe and Asia. This duck is doing so well, it appears to be spreading its range into eastern North America. Here in the UK it is a scarce breeding and winter visitor, though this also appears to be on the rise in the recent years. This is a wetland bird, feeding mainly on plant vegegation, though will eat molluscs and insects in the nesting season.

  • 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

  • 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.
