  • 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>

  • Curlew
    The Eurasian Curlew is the largest of all the waders in its range, at 50-57cm in height with a generous 1 meter wingspan. What makes this bird especially unique to Britain is that it’s one of the only places in Europe where it does not migrate, staying year round. In the winter they tend to gather in good-sized groups, though very wary of any disturbances. The only similar bird in its range is the Whimbrel, which is generally a smaller bird with a shorter, more downturned bill compared to the smooth downward curve of the curlew.This bird is mainly greyish brown, white on the back, and a very long curved bill.

  • Eider
    The Common Eider is a true sea duck, found on the sea coasts across Europe and parts of North America. They are hardly ever found away from their seacoast home. It's primary diet is molluscs, which has caused some conflict with mussle farmers. This is also Britain's fastest flying duck, found year round off the coasts.</br></br> This bird is most well-known for what it lines its nests with, eiderdown feathers. It was most prized for filling pillows and quilts, however these days replaced with alternatives and synthetics. This practice does still continue, however is now carefully done and sustainable as they remove the down from the nest after the fledglings have left - causing no harm to the young.
