  • Dunlin
    Dunlins in breeding plumage have a roufus coloration on top, with a distinctive black belly which no similar-sized wader possesses, making it stand out amongst other waders. In the winter they’re a drab gray on top and white underneath. Both legs and their slightly curved bill are black. This bird can easily be confused (in autumn in particular) with the curlew sandpiper, as the bills of dunlin can be quite long and quite curved. <br/><br/> According to the BTO website, 3 subspecies visit our shores. The subspecies schinzii breed here but travel to Africa for the winter. Birds from western Siberia winter here, and occasionally small numbers of Greenland breeders pass through in autumn on their way to Africa.

  • Golden Plover
    Breeding adults of the Golden Plover are black & gold spotted on top of the back, head and wings. Their face and neck are black with a thick white border, a black breast, black legs, and a dark rump. In winter, they have an off-white face and breast and white underneath. <br/><br/> What makes this bird special in the UK is an amazing 500,000 birds overwinter here.

  • 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. <br/><br/> 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.<br/><br/> This bird is mainly greyish brown, white on the back, and a very long curved bill.

  • Northern Shoveler
    The Northern Shoveler is a common and widespread duck, found across the northern regions of North America, Europe and Asia. Its an unmistakable duck due to its spatulate bill, unable to be mistaken for any other similar duck in its range.</br></br>In the UK we are home to up to 20% of the entire Northwestern European population. Its found year round, but found more often in the winter months. The breeding population moves south in the winter where their numbers here are replaced by an influx of continental birds from the north. This is not a gregarious duck, only forming small flocks, even outside of the breeding season.
