Goldfinch
07/01/2021
This small finch is a resident at Wellington where it can be seen amongst the quads and gardens. Often in large family flocks called Charms, they will descend en masse to feed on seeds and buds on plants.
The Goldcrest is surprisingly common at Wellington but rather difficult to spot. Britain’s joint smallest bird, along with the Firecrest, it nests in the outer tips of the branches of conifer trees. Spend a few minutes gazing up into the branches of the magnificent Wellingtonias on North Front and you may be able to catch a glimpse of these tiny, busy birds.

The Great Spotted Woodpecker is one of two woodpecker species that we have here at Wellington, the other being the Green Woodpecker.
A mid-sized member of the Corvid family, the Jackdaws are gregarious birds often seen around Turf and South Front. Although initially looking all black, they have a grey head. They feed on almost anything from seeds and berries to carrion and waste food from the bins.
The Wren, one of Britain’s smallest birds, is a resident here at Wellington College.
