Barn Owl
The Barn Owl is a distinctive and much loved countryside bird. Barn Owls can be found throughout the UK and Ireland and are easily identified with their heart shaped face and pure white underparts. They hunt small mammals such as mice, voles, shrews, rats, muskrats, hares and rabbits, and they may also prey on small birds.
Tawny Owl
The Tawny is a woodland bird, these owls do sometimes inhabit urban areas provided there are plenty of large trees for them to rest in. They usually lay 2-3 eggs, and these are normally incubated for around 30 days. Once the eggs have hatched both the female and male will then be busy feeding the youngsters with rodents and perhaps the occasional bird and even a young rabbit or two.
Little Owl
Little Owls are not quite so strictly nocturnal, and can often be seen during daylight hours, but they still do much of their hunting at night. Like their larger counterparts, they will readily hunt rodents, but much of their diet is made up of insects and worms.
Peregrine Falcon
Did you know the Peregrine Falcon is the fastest animal on earth? These beautiful birds are capable of reaching speeds of more than 200 miles per hour when diving after their prey and are one of the few bird of prey species that can be found in urban areas.
White Stork
White Storks regularly build their nests on top of buildings and they will normally lay between 2 and 5 eggs. The incubation period will last between 25 and 35 days. When the chicks hatch, they are almost naked, however they will quickly develop a covering of fluffy feathers that will help to keep them warm. Both parents will feed them, and the chicks can eat up to 60% of their own body weight per day.
White-Tailed Eagle
The white-tailed eagle is the largest UK bird of prey. It has brown body plumage with a conspicuously pale head and neck which can be almost white in older birds, and the tail feathers of adults are white. In flight it has massive long, broad wings with 'fingered' ends. Its head protrudes and it has a short, wedge-shaped tail.
Garden Pond
This live garden pond camera will show a variety of garden birds, providing you with a close-up view of a range of species.
Blackbird
Medium sized, slightly larger than a Starling, the male Blackbird is easy to identify with its jet black plumage and bright yellow beak. The female is a similar size, still with the bright yellow beak but dark brown in colour with a mottled throat and chest.
Blue Tit
The Blue Tit is one of our most familiar garden birds, and now you've got the chance to see how they raise their young. These delightful birds typically lay between seven and nine eggs, with laying normally starting in late March, although some individuals may not do so until July.
