  • European Water Rail
    The European Water Rail is a permenant resident here in the UK, numbers augmented by european migrants in the winter. This is a secretive bird, particularly in the breeding season. They are mainly heard and not seen at this time of year. During the winter is the more likely time to spot this bird, particularly in freezing conditions as it pushes them to the edges of the reedbeds.

  • Little Egret
    Until the 1950s, the little egret was restricted to southern europe. Gradually it has started to move north, and finally started breeding in the UK in the late 20th century. This is an all-white bird with a dark bill, dark legs and yellow feet. In the breeding season you will see the skin on the face become red or blue. Juveniles are similar but have duller legs and feet than the non-breeding adults.

    The Great Cormorant is a very large black bird. With a longish tail and yellow throat patch, the adults have white thigh patches in the breeding season. It can be distinguished from the very similar Shag by its lack of green tinge and lack of crest. An extremely wide spread bird, its breeding range extends all over europe and asia, south across africa, to the atlantic coast of North America.

  • Common Pheasant
    A large, long-tailed gamebird. Males have rich chestnut, golden-brown and black markings on body and tail, with a dark green head and red face wattling. Females are mottled with paler brown and black. They were introduced to the UK long ago and more recent introductions have brought in a variety of races and breeds for sport shooting. This bird can be seen across most of the UK, apart from the far north and west of Scotland. Usually seen in the open countryside near woodland edges, copses and hedgerows.

  • American Wigeon
    The American Wigeon is the american counter part to the Eurasian Wigeon, and a widespread breeder in much of North America. It is a rare but regular vagrant to western Europe. This bird groups in tremendous flocks outside of the breeding season, often seen in company with the American Coot. You will typically find this bird in open wetlands grazing on plants.
    WWT Slimbridge
  • Lesser Redpoll
    This tiny finch – only slightly bigger than a blue tit – is streaky and brown with patches of red on its head and sometimes its breast. They like to hang upside down to feed in trees. It has recently been 'split' from the mealy (or common) redpoll, a larger and paler species which is a winter visitor to the UK.
