  • 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. However, they only overwinter here in the UK, as their breeding range is in N. Russia, N. North America and arctic islands. However non-breeding birds will stay in their wintering grounds until their 2nd year.

    The Hardhead duck, sometimes still referred to as the White eyed duck, is the only true diving duck found in Australia.

  • Bald Eagle
    It should be noted that this was at a great distance in a busy park, while the bird and nest was isolated across the water on a populated but private island - and in no way did we disturb or alarm this bird.

  • Oystercatcher
    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.

  • 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.
