  • House Sparrow
    Noisy and gregarious, these cheerful exploiters of man's rubbish and wastefulness, have managed to colonise most of the world. The ultimate avian opportunist perhaps. Monitoring suggests a severe decline in the UK house sparrow population, recently estimated as dropping by 71 per cent between 1977 and 2008 with substantial declines in both rural and urban populations. Whilst the decline in England continues, Breeding Bird Survey data indicate recent population increases in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

  • Baikal Teal
    The Baikal Teal is a dabbling duck of Asia, overwintering in the eastern parts of Asia, such as Japan. It has been suggested that it has no living relatives and should be placed in its own genus as its closest reltaives being the Garganey and the Northern Shoveler. This duck is listed as vulnerable due to hunting and destruction of its wintering habitats, but it is suggested that its making a good comeback.

  • Eurasian Siskin
    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>

    The Great-Crested Grebe is an excellent swimmer and diver, the young able to do so almost immediately after hatching. The adults are unmistakable in summer with bright rusty colors on their head and neck. The hatchlings are striped black and white, much like a zebra. It is the largest grebe in europe.The species was almost hunted to extinction in the 19th century, but thanks to the RSPB, it is now a common sight.

  • Goldcrest
    The Goldcrest has the pride of place as Europe's 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.
