    Animal a Day for 2019 Coal tit: Not as colourful as the other tits. It is the smallest European tit. Very acrobatic, often hanging upside down to reach food. Although shy, they will visit garden feeders. These visits have helped them survive, particularly in harsh winters.

    Animal a Day for 2019 Hoodie Crow: or scald crow. Omnivores with a very varied diet. More common & smaller than the Raven. Very smart birds, they have learned to break mollusc shells by dropping them from a height & will reel in fishing lines left in holes in the ice for fish!

    Animal a Day for 2019 Lugworm: Common around our coastline. Rarely seen as they live buried beneath sand. However, their ‘casts’ betray their presence. The head is at the base of the burrow. It ingests sand, absorbing food and egesting the ‘cast’ which ends up on the surface.
