  • Chaffinch
    The Chaffinch is a widespread finch across Europe, Asia, and northwestern Africa, being the most populous finch in western Europe. It can be said it is one of europe's prettiest finches, with a loud and varied song to match. The Chaffinch is not migratory here in Britain, and in the winter it will form loose flocks, sometimes quite large. They are also known to mix with the visiting Bramblings during the winter as well.

  • Dunlin
    The commonest small wader found along the coast. It has a slightly down-curved bill and a distinctive black belly patch in breeding plumage. It feeds in flocks in winter, sometimes numbering thousands, roosting on nearby fields, saltmarshes and shore when the tide is high.
    Talacre
  • Ringed Plover
    The ringed plover is a small, dumpy, short-legged wading bird. It is brownish grey above and whitish below. It has a orange bill, tipped with black, orange legs and a black-and-white pattern on its head and breast. In flight it shows a broad white wing-stripe. Breeds on beaches around the coast, but has also now breeding inland in sand and gravel pits and former industrial sites. Many UK birds live here all year round, but birds from Europe winter in Britain and birds from Greenland and Canada pass through on migration.

  • Garden Warbler
    A very plain warbler with no distinguishing features (a feature in itself!). It spends a lot of its time in the cover of trees and bushes and can be more difficult to see than its relative, the blackcap. Despite its name it is not really a garden bird, except in mature gardens next to woods. Its song is similar to that of a blackcap, but has longer mellow phrases.
    Wyllie
  • Gannet
    Adults are large and bright white with black wingtips. They are distinctively shaped with a long neck and long pointed beak, long pointed tail, and long pointed wings. At sea they flap and then glide low over the water, often travelling in small groups. They feed by flying high and circling before plunging into the sea. It breeds in significant numbers at only a few localities and so is an Amber List species. Biggest mainland breeding colony at RSPB's Bempton Cliffs. Two mainland colonies - at Bempton and Troup Head, Scotland. Big island colonies on St Kilda, the Northern Isles and Bass Rock in Scotland and Grassholm in Wales.

  • Red Knot
    The adult Red Knot has short dark legs and a medium thin dark bill. Their body is mottled gray on top with a reddish face, throat and breast. In the winter it is pale gray all over. <br/><br/> There are 6 subspecies of the knot, one of which is severely endangered. The American subspecies has been predicted to be extinct as early as 2010 due to overfishing of their primary food source – the horseshoe crab in the Delaware Bay, a primary stopover point for this migrating bird. <br/><br/> This bird visits the UK shores in the winter, migrating south to Africa, and the areas surrounding Australia. <br/><br/>
