  • Goldcrest Fledgling
    The Goldcrest has the pride of place as Europes smallest bird, weighing as little as 5 grams. This member of the kinglet family is very similar to the Firecrest, but with its plainer face makes it pretty easy to distinguish between the two. </br></br> This bird is partially migratory, but this bird does stay year-round here in the UK. You can typically find this bird with flocks of tits in the winter months.

  • Red Kite
    The Red Kite is a large bird of prey, part of the same family as eagles, buzzards and harriers. This is a relatively rare bird of Europe and Northwest Africa.</br></br> Here in the UK the population of this bird was down to a staggering handful of pairs in Wales. But due to reintroductions using German and swedish birds, populations are growing in both Scotland, Buckinghamshire, and the Chilterns. They have now been spreading over much of the UK. Most recently a population of 100 welsh birds has been agreed to begin reintroduction to Ireland, around the Wicklow Mountains area.</br></br> Because this bird is a scavenger, it is particularly prone to illegal poisoning, and shooting.

  • 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.
