The robin is famous for its red breast and often features on Christmas cards. The robin will sing almost all year round, unlike most other garden birds.
Robin
Woodpigeon
The woodpigeon is mostly grey with a white patch on its neck. You're most likely to spot this bird on the ground underneath bird feeders, picking up dropped seeds!
Magpie
A large black and white bird. If you look closely you will see blues and purples when its feathers catch the light.
Blue tit
The blue tit has yellow on its front, green on its back and white on its head. Look out for blue tits on your bird feeder!
Starling
At first glance the starling can appear black but, if you look carefully, you'll see lots of colours and white spots in its feathers!
Blackbird
The males are black and females brown, but both have a yellow beak. Blackbirds are often seen on the ground feeding on worms or insects.
