  • Hardhead
    The Hardhead duck, sometimes still referred to as the White eyed duck, is the only true diving duck found in Australia. They are a common bird, and like other members of the pochard group, they feed by diving deeply for the aquatic creatures they feed off of. As a general rule these birds avoid costal waters.

  • Little Stint
    The little stint is a tiny wading bird with a short straight fine black bill and medium-length black legs. Autumn birds have two pale stripes or 'braces' down the back. It does not breed in the UK, but is a passage migrant, with most birds being juveniles seen in autumn. It is much scarcer in spring, when small numbers of adults are seen, and a very few birds spend the winter here, most migrating to Africa. Often seen with feeding Dunlin.

  • 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.

  • Chaffinch
    The Chaffinch is a widespread finch across Europe, Asia, and northwestern Africa, being the most populous finch in western Europe. It can be said it is one of europe's prettiest finches, with a loud and varied song to match. The Chaffinch is not migratory here in Britain, and in the winter it will form loose flocks, sometimes quite large. They are also known to mix with the visiting Bramblings during the winter as well.

  • European Kestrel
    A familiar sight with its pointed wings and long tail, hovering beside a roadside verge. Numbers of kestrels declined in the 1970s, probably as a result of changes in farming and so it is included on the Amber List. They have adapted readily to man-made environments and can survive right in the centre of cities.

  • 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.
