These birds are often seen in courting pairs and are equally at home in woods, fields or gardens.

In the breeding season the male blackbirds seem to spend all day singing from a lofty perch.

Goldfinches usually feed in little flocks and their bright colours make them very easy to identify.

This common bird is fairly unobtrusive as it skulks around in the undergrowth feeding on insects.

We hear these little birds more often than we see them as although they have a loud voice they are quite shy.

Another bird that goes around in little groups and is an occasional visitor to the garden. Easily recognised by its very long tail.

Magpies are very common and easily recognised by their size and colouring. They can be surprisingly good at stealing from small bird feeders!
