  • 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.

  • Eurasian Siskin - juvenile
    The eurasian siskin is a small finch, easily identified by its vividly yellow colors. It has a distinctly forked tail and a long narrow finch bill. </br></br>It is mainly resident from southern England to northern Scotland, but in larger numbers in Scotland and Wales. You can see this bird in much of the UK, but for England, where it becomes more common in winter. We also get birds arriving here from Europe. Look for these at the tops of trees in suitable habitat, more readily found in Scotland and Wales, where they are fairly common. </br>

  • Lesser Black-backed Gull
    Slightly smaller than a herring gull, the lesser black-backed gull has a dark grey to black back and wings, yellow bill and yellow legs. Their world population is found entirely in Europe. After declines in the 19th century due to persecution they increased their range and numbers. This expansion has now halted and there is serious concern about declines in many parts of its range. The species is on the Amber List because the UK is home to 40% of the European population and more than half of these are found at fewer than ten sites.
