Which birds can be found in woodland?
Most broadleaved woods have an abundance of birds, with both resident, spring and summer visitors among them.
Resident birds usually feed on the wealth of insects and other invertebrates for at least part of the year, turning to seeds and nuts during the winter months, while others feed on them through the year.
Spring migrants include chiffchaffs, nightingales, willow warblers, black caps, redstarts, and pied flycatchers.
There are usually lots of members of the tit family too, marsh tits and willow tits, in any broadleaved wood.
Not surprisingly, the tree pipit, tree creeper, woodcock, wood pigeon, wood warblers and all three species of woodpecker, the great spotted one, lesser spotted and green one, can also be found there.
And, of course, many owl species can be found in woodlands, especially tawny owls and their cousins, hobbies, sparrowhawks and buzzards.
Other species which spend at least some of their time in woodlands include chaffinches, nuthatches, willow warblers, pied flycatchers, red polls and gold crests.
