  • Blue winged Teal
    The Blue winged Teal is a small dabbling duck, where its placement is no means a certainty. The coloring is remarkably similar to the Australasian Shoveler, but genetic testing shows that its nearly identical to that of the Cinnamon Teal. Occasional visitors come to the British Isles, distinct from the local Eurasian Teals and Garganey by their yellow legs and distinct white facial marking.

  • Tufted Duck - eclipse
    The Tufted duck is a year-round resident here in the UK, and in winter we're also home to many migrants from further north. This diving duck has an estimated worldwide population of over a million birds, spread throughout much of eurasia. This bird in the winter months can also be found on the east coast of North America. </br></br> The only other similar bird is the Ring-necked duck in North America.

  • Buzzard
    The Common Buzzard is a wide-spread member of the buteo family, ranging across europe and spilling over into Asia as well. It is mainly an opportunist hunter, going for small mammals and carrion. What's surprising about this bird is that you can find it perched on the ground in a field, sometimes with many other buzzards, hunting for worms and insects.</br> This bird can easily be confused with the rough-legged buzzard in Europe. Here in the UK, the plumage can range widely from almost pure white to almost pure black. But most of the birds in the UK are a rusty brown with a speckly brown belt across a pale breast.

  • 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.
