Great Crested Grebe, Mallard, Coot
Grey Heron
Common Buzzard

Black-headed Gull, Common Gull
Common Tern
Swift
Kingfisher
Bee-eater
Green Woodpecker
Wood Lark, Skylark
Swallow, (Sand Martin)
Pied Wagtail, Grey Wagtail
Wren
Dunnock
Blackbird, Song Thrush
(Bluethroat), Nightingale
(Grasshopper Warbler), Cetti’s Warbler, Reed Warbler, (Melodious Warbler), Willow Warbler, Chiffchaff, Garden Warbler, Blackcap, Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat
Long-tailed Tit, Great Tit, Blue Tit
Goldcrest
Jackdaw, Magpie, Carrion Crow
Starling
House Sparrow
Chaffinch, Greenfinch, Goldfinch, Linnet

I wonder if there have been any more!
