Wild Birbs

[BrandonsBirbs]

A thread to discuss wild birds, maybe even get some help with identification if someone can!

Great cormorants love to sit on this little island in our nearby lake, normally about 5-7 of them just chill out here. Apparently quite common here in England however I had never heard of them until I got some help from people on this forum! Beautiful birds

European robins, also known as robin redbreast or just robins here in England. Becoming increasingly more common here, and I've recently learned they're actually very aggressive and territorial little guys - would never have guessed that! The one below is a hatchling starting to look all grown up!

Yesterday members on this thread, helped me to identify this lovely lady as a great crested grebe! She hangs around with her grebette who's almost as big as her now! Amazing looking birds just swimming with the usual ducks.

Sorry for the poor image quality here.

The gorgeous magpie, today I learned that it is one of the most intelligent animals!

Their brain-to-body-mass ratio is outmatched only by that of humans and equals that of aquatic mammals and great apes.

But my word they make the loudest, most annoying sound lol! Here's one doing it today haha!

Need help with identification! I think(?) it is a baby of a bird-of-prey but to be honest I cannot find anything about them!

Caw caw, I'm quite a big jackdaw!

Sorry didn't realise about the bills, still learning! The breast for sure looks like a song thrush and we were on farmland. The head looks more similar to that of a baby mistle thrush.. but I am not sure! Thank you for your help!

Sorry I can't help more. I am not familiar with the birds of England, just North America.
