  • White Winged Crossbill
    The white winged crossbill is a resident of the pine forests of North America, with their european counterpart spread across the northern regions of Europe and Asia. With their specialist bills, they mainly eat the seeds of pine cones. This bird is mainly resident, but will irrupt into more southern parts of the US when the food in their ranges runs scarce. They seem to move around more than their european counterpart, the Two Barred Crossbill.</br></br> What is interesting about this bird is that they are opportunistic breeders, meaning they breed whenever the conditions favor it and their food sources abundant. They have been know to breed in all 12 months of the year, according to All About Birds website.

  • Hooded Crow
    The hooded crow is closely related to the carrion crow, which until recently was regarded as the same species. In areas where the two species overlap there may be some interbreeding with hybrids showing a mixed grey and black body plumage. Like carrion crows, hoodies also feed on dead animals. Unlike crows they can be more sociable in the feeding habits and groups of them may be seen together in fields. Found in N and W Scotland, N Ireland, Ireland, and on the Isle of Man, where it replaces the carrion crow.

  • Mistle Thrush
    Found in open woodlands and cultivated land all over europe and much of asia, the mistle thrush is similar in appearance to the song thrush. However this bird is larger than the song thrush, and has neat round spots as opposed to the well-known heart-shaped spots of the song thrush. The breast is also much less buff. The song is a simpler version of the blackbird song, and the alarm call similar to rapid gunfire.

  • Long tailed Tit Juvenile
    The long-tailed tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive colouring, a tail that is bigger than its body, and undulating flight. Gregarious and noisy residents, long-tailed tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes.

  • Chough
    While its black plumage identifies it as a crow, the chough (pronounced 'chuff') has a red bill and legs unlike any other member of the crow family. It has a restricted westerly distribution in the British Isles and because of its small population size and historically declining populations it is an Amber List species. It readily displays its mastery of flight with wonderful aerial displays of diving and swooping. Found in flocks in autumn and winter.
