The Robin is an upright plump little bird 13-15cm tall. The adult is a warm olive-brown colour with a red breast, chin and face.  The juvenile has a brown head, wings and tail with brown barring on the buffy back and breast.  It makes a tic-tic-tic, sound repeatedly and its song is a leisurely warble. Food mainly comprises insects and grubs.

The female produces 5-6 eggs in a cup on a tree, stump or on a bank.  Incubation takes 12-15 days and fledging takes a similar period.  Robins have 2-3 broods per year in April-June. 

The Wren is a very small bird (9-10cm tall) with a cocked tail, chestnut above, a pale eyebrow and a very fine bill.  It feeds on insects which it can be seen picking off tree trunks. It can often be seen singing from low vegetation a loud ripping warble ending in a wheezing chur. When disturbed it makes a characteristic repeated tic-tic and clink.

The female lays 5-8 eggs in a dome in a hole in a bank.  Incubation takes 14-17 days and fledging takes 15-20 days. They have one brood per year in April-May.

Magpies are omnivorous.

They feed mainly on the ground eating a wide range of food e.g., beetles, seeds, berries, small mammals, small birds and their eggs, nestlings and even reptiles.

They may be often observed searching the roads early in the morning for road kill.

They will often scavenge around homes, parks etc. searching out scraps.

An old oak tree is a favoured haunt of the Treecreeper.

It progresses up the gnarled trunk in a series of jerks, spasmodic rather than rapid.

Now and then it will make a sideways hop attracted by a promising crevice before pushing its scimitar-shaped bill into the crack and delicately removing its quarry with the needle point.

Reaching a branch it will travel outwards beneath it — quite as happy upside down as when ascending.

Great Tit

The largest UK tit - green and yellow with a striking glossy black head with white cheeks and distinctive two-syllable song. It is a woodland bird which has readily adapted to man-made habitats to become a familiar garden visitor.  In winter it joins with blue tits and others to form roaming flocks which scour gardens and countryside for food.

Long-tailed tits can often be heard before they are seen. Their, high 'see-see-see' calls, and lower 'tupp, tupp' notes, are quite distinctive.
