Graduation birds
My sister completed her Master’s degree last week. As a gift to her supervisors, she asked me to paint some birds. These are all species she’s seen in the forest nearby, where she spent a few months writing her thesis. They are the Eurasian nuthatch, Firecrest, Great spotted woodpecker, and Common redstart. The Firecrest especially was a special happenstance.They are not massively common, and being so small you rarely see them. But my sister got a good look at one when a juvenile hit the window. It took a few minutes of rest in a dark box to recuperate, before it luckily flew off.

These two extremely tiny birds are, in fact, goldcrest chicks. Along with the firecrest, the goldcrest is the UK’s smallest bird and they are rarely seen here at the centre!
As they are so small and prove tricky to raise in captivity, they require round-the-clock care; these two are now being fed by one of our specialist orphan feeders.
Although their future is very guarded, we always try our utmost to raise every animal, right through to release, so, we’ll keep you updated on their progress.
