Common Whitethroat
& Lesser Whitethroat

Two warblers, one extrovert with a scratchy song, the other shyer but with a loud rattle.

Goldcrest

Our tiniest native bird, with a song that sounds like a tiny rusty bike going down a hill and falling over at the bottom.

Stock Dove

One of the subtle treasures of our woodlands, with a little known ‘reverse coo’ call, like a DJ scratching a record.

Green Woodpecker

Professor Yaffle, with a loud ringing laugh and an appetite for ants
