Heading towards the lake I saw a Jay and a greater spotted woodpecker on the same tree with a green woodpecker below! When I got to the lake there was a very cooperative Black headed gull stting on a pole

After the question of what is
Britains biggest bird, I thought I ask and answer another question: What is Britains commonest bird? The first set of data I have used is that based on numbers of breeding pairs or breeding territories.

On sturday I visit birdworld. Its a zoo of mainly birds (as you probably guessed!) and along with many foriegn species, it also had a few that are found in the wild in the UK. So as this is the

I thought to start off this series I would make a list of the non native species that do or have occurred in the UK. This is in no way exhaustive and I will probably add to it at a later date. But for now here is the list, including some surprising species…

About 3 weeks ago as part of my long post exam tour of the parks of Romford I wandered through Raphaels park and photographed a coot feeding its chicks(
see here, second photo down). I visited again today and in roughly the same spot was a brood of four chicks: they all seemed to have survived and they,ve grown!
