Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

Nightingales are slightly larger than robins, with a robust, broad-tailed, rather plain brown appearance. They are skulking and extremely local in their distribution in the UK while in much of southern Europe, they are common and more easily seen. The famous song is indeed of high quality, with a fast succession of high, low and rich notes that few other species can match.

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

The whitethroat is a medium-sized warbler, about the size of a great tit. It has quite a long tail which it flicks and cocks as it darts rapidly in and out of cover. The male has a grey head, a white throat and a brown back, and is buff underneath. It is a summer visitor and passage migrant, with birds breeding widely, although it avoids urban and mountainous areas. It winters in Africa, south of the Sahara.

Great Crested Grebe -Podiceps cristatus

nobody@flickr.com (Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!!) — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:19:00 -0700

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

A delightfully elegant waterbird with ornate head plumes which led to its being hunted for its feathers, almost leading to its extermination from the UK. They dive to feed and also to escape, preferring this to flying. On land they are clumsy because their feet are placed so far back on their bodies. They have an elaborate courtship display in which they rise out of the water and shake their heads. Very young grebes often ride on their parents' backs.

Grey herons are unmistakeable: tall, with long legs, a long beak and grey, black and white feathering. They can stand with their neck stretched out, looking for food, or hunched down with their neck bent over their chest.

Long Tailed Tit - Aegithalos caudatus Explored

nobody@flickr.com (Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!!) — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:19:01 -0700

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

The long-tailed tit is easily recognisable with its distinctive colouring, a tail that is bigger than its body, and undulating flight. Gregarious and noisy residents, long-tailed tits are most usually noticed in small, excitable flocks of about 20 birds. Like most tits, they rove the woods and hedgerows, but are also seen on heaths and commons with suitable bushes.

Red-crested Pochard (Netta rufina).

nobody@flickr.com (Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!!) — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 12:19:01 -0700

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

In winter and spring, male pochards are very distinctive. They have a bright reddish-brown head, a black breast and tail and a pale grey body. Females are more easily confused with other species; they are brown with a greyish body and pale cheeks. However, during the 'eclipse' – when ducks grow new feathers – the males look very similar to the females. They become more camouflaged so that they don't draw the attention of predators.

Dunnock - Prunella modularis

nobody@flickr.com (Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!!) — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 11:53:53 -0700

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

A small brown and grey bird. Quiet and unobtrusive, it is often seen on its own, creeping along the edge of a flower bed or near to a bush, moving with a rather nervous, shuffling gait, often flicking its wings as it goes. When two rival males come together they become animated with lots of wing-flicking and loud calling.

Grey Wagtail - Motacilla cinerea

nobody@flickr.com (Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!!) — Sat, 27 Apr 2013 11:53:52 -0700

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

The grey wagtail is more colourful than its name suggests with slate grey upper parts and distinctive lemon yellow under-tail. Its tail is noticeably longer than those of pied and yellow wagtails. They have gradually increased their range in the past 150 years and in the UK have expanded into the English lowlands from the northern and western uplands. They are badly affected by harsh winters, and because of recent moderate declines it is an Amber List species.

Robin - Erithacus rubecula

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

The UK's favourite bird - with its bright red breast it is familar throughout the year and especially at Christmas! Males and females look identical, and young birds have no red breast and are spotted with golden brown. Robins sing nearly all year round and despite their cute appearance, they are aggressively territorial and are quick to drive away intruders. They will sing at night next to street lights.

Carrion Crow - Corvus corone

nobody@flickr.com (Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!!) — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 22:20:35 -0800

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

The all-black carrion crow is one of the cleverest, most adaptable of our birds. It is often quite fearless, although it can be wary of man. They are fairly solitary, usually found alone or in pairs. The closely related hooded crow has recently been split as a separate species. Carrion crows will come to gardens for food and although often cautious initially, they soon learn when it is safe, and will return repeatedly to take advantage of whatever is on offer.

Best looked for in mature woods and established parkland in central and southern England and Wales, on the sides of tree trunks and underside of branches. Occasional sightings in Scotland.

Pied Wagtail - Motacilla alba

Wild One_ NO TO THE BADGER CULL!!! posted a photo:

A delightful small, long-tailed and rather sprightly black and white bird. When not standing and frantically wagging its tail up and down it can be seen dashing about over lawns or car parks in search of food. It frequently calls when in its undulating flight and often gathers at dusk to form large roosts in city centres.

This magnificently graceful bird of prey is unmistakable with its reddish-brown body, angled wings and deeply forked tail. It was saved from national extinction by one of the world's longest running protection programmes, and has now been successfully re-introduced to England and Scotland. It is an Amber List species because of its historical decline.
