Almost 600 species of birds have been recorded in Britain and Ireland, although only about 250 occur regularly.
Here are 100 of them. They are all WILD birds (no cagebirds, farmyards birds, escapees etc.) and any photos where the identification is basically down to the photographer (i.e. it can’t be confirmed from the photo) have been excluded.
