Wren

The Wren, one of Britain’s smallest birds, is a resident here at Wellington College.
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.

This resident bird is small and brown with a white belly. Its curved bill is perfect for getting insects out of the crevices of trees.
This bright and unmistakeable duck is often seen on the golf course. Whilst the male is particularly colourful, the female is, as is common with most duck species, a more subtle mottled brown with an attractive green patch over the eyes.
The Great Spotted Woodpecker is one of two woodpecker species that we have here at Wellington, the other being the Green Woodpecker.
