  • Oystercatcher Fledgling
    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.

  • 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.
