Most Common Bird

Black Redstart

1. Black Redstart

The black Redstart is a small flycatcher that was once present only in natural habitats such as cliffs and rocky, mountainous areas, but now it also inhabits industrial sites, buildings, and rooftops.

Eurasian Collared-dove

3. Eurasian Collared-dove

This plump, pretty dove with a square-tipped tail is known for bobbing its head and flicking its tail while walking. Though nice to look at, many people are not pleased at the sight of a eurasian Collared-dove walking along. In North America they are considered an invasive species, and one that carries a disease-creating parasite that can spread to native dove populations through birdbaths, feeders, or even through hawks preying on them.
European Robin

4. European Robin

The european Robin is an aggressive bird that is commonly found throughout farmlands, woodlands, and suburban communities. These birds are mainly helpful insectivores for gardeners, but will also eat various seeds and fruits. The european Robin is used on British Christmas cards to represent postmen from the Victorian era who used to wear red waistcoats while delivering holiday cards.
European Starling

5. European Starling

The european Starling, a large, hardy songbird, is one of the most commonly seen bird species in North America. Originally from Europe, this species was brought to the U.S. in the 1890s by enthusiasts of William Shakespeare, who had the unique goal of bringing over every single species of bird that was mentioned in Shakespeare's collective works. Unfortunately, the european Starling, being an adaptable, generalist species, spread invasively across the continent, hurting many native species' populations in the process.
Eurasian Hoopoe

6. Eurasian Hoopoe

Instantly recognizable by its crown-shaped crest and plumage pattern, the eurasian Hoopoe is a medium-sized, ground-feeding bird that reveals the stunning black and white stripes on its wings during flight. When on the ground, this insectivorous bird tends to move somewhat strangely, often changing direction suddenly. This attractive bird has an important significance among many cultures and is the national bird of Israel.
Goldcrest

7. Goldcrest

The Regulus regulus is a tiny bird, commonly known as goldcrest because of its colorful, golden feathers. It is also called the King of the Birds, in European folklore, as its Latin name means King or Knight. They can also be found in islands of Iceland and Macaronesia.
Great Tit

8. Great Tit

Great Tit is a small and plump bird, with a thick black line running through its bright yellow face. It is a common sight in gardens, woodlands, and parks. It is often seen foraging for food in an acrobatic way. Well known for its intelligence, it has been observed using tools, solving problems, and even counting up to five.
Rock Pigeon

9. Rock Pigeon

The rock Pigeon is a wild ancestor of all domestic and feral pigeons, inhabiting coasts, cliffs, and caves. Pairs nest in rock crevices, often mating for life. They are known for their ability to fly very long distances to return to their homes, navigating using the sun's position and the earth's magnetic fields. Thanks to this ability, pigeons were used as messengers, particularly during World Wars I and II.
Common Kestrel

10. Common Kestrel

The common Kestrel is a small falcon found throughout much of Europe, Asia, and Africa. It feeds on small mammals, birds, and insects and is known for its ability to hover in the air to spot prey. It can be found in a variety of habitats. Some populations have declined due to habitat loss.
Hooded Crow

11. Hooded Crow

The hooded Crow is often mistaken for the carrion crow (Corvus corone) and has even been regarded as the same species; indeed, these two species may breed to create a hybrid. The hooded Crow is commonly found in woodlands, farmlands, and suburban areas. They can usually be seen in pairs or small groups, looking to find decaying meat, grain, and other protein.
Eurasian Jay

12. Eurasian Jay

The eurasian Jay is a striking bird with distinctive blue, black, and white plumage. It is known for its bold and curious nature, often seen rummaging through gardens and forests for food. Despite its small size, it is very intelligent and able to store food for later consumption. Its sharp calls and acrobatics in the trees make it a joy to observe in the wild.
Eurasian Blackbird

13. Eurasian Blackbird

Unafraid of humans, the dark-winged eurasian Blackbird has gained a great deal of cultural significance, mentioned in popular nursery rhymes and songs across the world. Elegant and with an appealing song, they can be aggressive when they are in their breeding period.
Common Firecrest

14. Common Firecrest

The common firecrest is a small plump bird, 9 cm (3.5 in) in length with a wingspan of 13–16 cm (5.1–6.3 in), and weighs 4–7 grams (0.14–0.25 oz). It has bright olive-green upperparts with a bronze-coloured patch on each shoulder, and whitish underparts washed with brownish-grey on the breast and flanks. It has two white wingbars, a tiny black pointed bill, and brownish-black legs. The head pattern is striking, with a black eye stripe, long white supercilium, and a crest which is bright yellow in the female and mainly orange in the male. The sexes are very similar, apart from the crest colour, although the female is a little duller in plumage and on average slightly smaller. Juveniles have a grey tinge to the duller upperparts, and lack the coloured crown; the other head markings are present, but duller than in the adult. By their first winter, only the flight and tail feathers remain unmoulted, and the young birds are virtually indistinguishable from the adults in the field. This kinglet usually hops with its body held horizontally, and its flight is weak and whirring, with occasional quick evasive turns. Adult firecrests are unlikely to be confused with any other species; Pallas's warbler has a similar head and wing pattern, but its crown stripe is pale lemon, not bright yellow or orange, and its supercilium is also pale yellow, not bright white. The juvenile common firecrest might be confused with the goldcrest, but usually shows enough face pattern to distinguish it from its relative, which has a very plain face at all ages. The firecrest can also be separated from Pallas's warbler by the warbler's pale crown stripe and yellow rump. There is more likelihood of confusing the juvenile firecrest with the yellow-browed warbler, which has a similar head pattern; the warbler (an Asiatic species) has pale fringes to the feathers of the closed wing, a whitish belly and darker brown legs. The yellow-browed warbler also lacks the pale half circle present below the young firecrest's eye.
Common Chiffchaff

15. Common Chiffchaff

The common Chiffchaff is a small warbler known for its distinctive "chiff-chaff" call. It can be found in woodlands, gardens, and parks throughout Europe and Asia. It feeds on small insects, spiders and other invertebrates, which it catches by gleaning from leaves and branches. In the breeding season, males will sing to attract females and defend their territories.
Common Raven

16. Common Raven

The common Raven is one of the most ubiquitous species of birds and is revered for its high intelligence. These birds prefer open habitats, but can be found in nearly all environmental conditions besides rainforests. As a social species, some subspecies of common Raven have been known to have 15 to 33 different categories of calls!
Eurasian Magpie

17. Eurasian Magpie

The eurasian Magpie is a striking and intelligent bird known for its black and white plumage and long tail. It is highly adaptable, found in a variety of habitats, and known for its intelligence, similar to that of great apes. It is omnivorous, eating both insects and fruits, and it has a reputation for being mischievous and thieving.
Common Buzzard

18. Common Buzzard

The common Buzzard is a medium-sized bird of prey found in many parts of the world. It inhabits a variety of habitats such as forests, grasslands, and mountains. It is an opportunistic hunter, preying on mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. They also scavenge on carrion. They are often seen soaring on thermal currents, perching on high vantage points, and performing acrobatic maneuvers during courtship.
Yellowhammer

19. Yellowhammer

The yellowhammer is a small songbird that is often seen in open areas like forest clearings and farmland where it searches for seeds on the ground. The bright yellow head and stomach identify the males from the females. The bird typically travels in flocks instead of solitary. A decline in their population has placed the bird on the UK’s red species list.
