Birds

We are lucky to have a large and diverse indigenous bird population in the South East of England, which lives along our coastline and rivers, in our woods and open spaces. This population includes Peregrines, that have taken up residence and raised chicks among the craggy perches of our capital city feeding off the pigeons; the humble Robin nesting on the shelf in the local garden centre; the exotic looking Avocet which has nested at the London Wetland Centre for the first time and the bright green tropical parakeets which now flock in our suburbs. We are also blessed with many migrants which visit our region to breed or just rest a while before flying onto other areas of our countryside to raise their families. You'll find as many of these birds as we can show you in this section of our site.
