from Latin for 'sparrow', a large group so some covered separately

a somewhat eclectic mix of some of the birds you might reasonably see looking out to sea!

they mostly have long legs!

a few of this totally enchanting group, enjoy.

a medley of duck, a few gooses, and a swan.

a small selection of these typical waterbirds

Only three species here at the mo', actually 75% coverage of UK species (!) and they're pretty enough

corvids: robust, large, and very intelligent birds - starlings: masters of vocalisation and mimicry

a difficulty for someone (me trying to organise pretty bird pictures is how to treat families that only have a few representative species in UK, so currently that's only one species each!

from the latin 'Raptare' meaning to seize or grasp, often called Birds of Prey
