  • Lapwing
    The Northern Lapwing, also commonly known here in the UK as the Peewit, Green Plover, or just Lapwing, is a wader in the plover family. Its rounded wings make it quite distinctive in the air. It has a black crest, body plumage mainly black and white but having a green tint to its back feathers. It’s also got the shortest legs of any other plover.<br/><br/> It’s a very migratory bird, however the UK is a bit unique as it is here year-round. We have both breeders, passage migrants, and winter visitors. You can see these birds both on coastal mudflats, and in fields further inland. Another tidbit on this bird is how it got its name of Peewit, which comes from its distinctive shrill calls.

  • Eurasian Coots
    All-black and larger than its cousin, the moorhen, it has a distinctive white beak and 'shield' above the beak which earns it the title 'bald'. Its feet have distinctive lobed flaps of skin on the toes, which act instead of webs when swimming. It patters noisily over the water before taking off and can be very aggressive towards others.
