    The song thrush is commonly found in well-vegetated woods and gardens all over europe south of the arctic circle. Many birds move south during the winter, but some are resident. They do not form flocks like some thrushes, preferring to stay either solitary or in losely related groups in suitable habitat. Sexes are similar.

  • Oystercatcher Fledgling
    The Eurasian Oystercatcher, otherwise known as a Pied Oystercatcher or just Oystercatcher here in the UK is part of the oystercatcher family. Its the only one to occur here in the UK, although there are 3 subspecies of this oystercatcher in Europe and some of Asia. Its highly migratory but we are lucky enough to have this bird stay here year round. This bird as an adult has black above, white underneath, and a vividly red legs and bill which makes this striking bird really stand out amongst other waders. Despite its name, it does not primarily hunt for oysters, however its one of, if not the only wader to be able to pry open these tough creatures. What makes this bird really unique is that the shape of the bill varies depending on which type of food it specializes in. Birds that focus on molluscs have broad bill tips, where birds that specialize with unearthing worms tend to have pointed bills.

  • Blackbird
    The blackbird male lives up to its name, however females are a streaked or spotted brown. The males have a bright orange-yellow beak and eye-ring. The blackbird is one of the most common of UK birds and its mellow song is a favorite. -rspb
    Pontllanfraith
  • 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.

  • 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.
