  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Red Kite
    The Red Kite is a large bird of prey, part of the same family as eagles, buzzards and harriers. This is a relatively rare bird of Europe and Northwest Africa.</br></br> Here in the UK the population of this bird was down to a staggering handful of pairs in Wales. But due to reintroductions using German and swedish birds, populations are growing in both Scotland, Buckinghamshire, and the Chilterns. They have now been spreading over much of the UK. Most recently a population of 100 welsh birds has been agreed to begin reintroduction to Ireland, around the Wicklow Mountains area.</br></br> Because this bird is a scavenger, it is particularly prone to illegal poisoning, and shooting.
