  • Eider
    The Common Eider is a true sea duck, found on the sea coasts across Europe and parts of North America. They are hardly ever found away from their seacoast home. It's primary diet is molluscs, which has caused some conflict with mussle farmers. This is also Britain's fastest flying duck, found year round off the coasts.</br></br> This bird is most well-known for what it lines its nests with, eiderdown feathers. It was most prized for filling pillows and quilts, however these days replaced with alternatives and synthetics. This practice does still continue, however is now carefully done and sustainable as they remove the down from the nest after the fledglings have left - causing no harm to the young.

  • 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.

  • Grey Plover
    Adults of Gray Plover have black neck and face with a thick white border, black breast and a white rump. They also have black bill and legs. In winter they are fairly gray above with a gray-speckled breast and white belly. <br/><br/> This bird is nearly worldwide in its distribution, particularly when not breeding.
