Birds of Prey (Accipitriformes) : Diurnal Birds of Prey (Accipitriformes) The Accipitriformes is an order that has been proposed to include most of the diurnal birds of prey: hawks, eagles, vultures, and many others, about 225 species in all. Accipitriformes typically have a sharply hooked beak with a cere (soft mass) on the proximodorsal surface, housing the nostrils. Their wings are long and fairly broad, suitable for soaring flight, with the outer 4–6 primaries emarginated. More information can be found on Wikipedia. Hawks, Eagles, Kites, Harriers etc (Accipitridae) The Accipitridae, one of the two major families within the order Accipitriformes (the diurnal birds of prey), are a family of small to large birds with strongly hooked bills and variable morphology based on diet. They feed on a range of prey items from insects to medium-sized mammals, with a number feeding on carrion and a few feeding on fruit. The females are usually larger than the males. They have superb vision and hunt using this exceptional attribute. The various species in this family hunt anything from insects to small mammals with some even eating fruit. More information can be found on Wikipedia. True Hawks (Accipitrinae) Acciptrinae are a Sub Family of Accipitridae. These are primarily woodland birds that hunt by sudden dashes from a concealed perch, with long tails, broad wings and high visual acuity facilitating this lifestyle. More information can be found on Wikipedia. Buzzards, True-Eagles, Sea Eagles (Buteoninae) These are a Sub Family Accipitridae They have large powerful hooked beaks for tearing flesh from their prey, strong legs and powerful talons. They also have extremely keen eyesight to enable them to spot potential prey from a distance. More information can be found on Wikipedia.

Sandpipers (Scolopacidae) : Waders, Gulls and Auks (Charadriiformes) > Sandpipers (Scolopacidae) Sandpipers (Scolopacidae) Scolopacidae is a large family of waders or shorebirds. They include many species called sandpipers, as well as those called by names such as curlew and snipe. The majority of these species eat small invertebrates picked out of the mud or soil. Different lengths of bills enable different species to feed in the same habitat, particularly on the coast, without direct competition for food. Waders have long bodies and legs, and narrow wings. Most species have a narrow bill, but otherwise the form and length are quite variable. The bills are sensitive, allowing the birds to feel the mud and sand as they probe for food. Waders range in size from the Least Sandpiper, at around 11 centimetres in length, to the Eastern Curlew, at 66 centimetres in length. They generally have dull plumage, with cryptic brown, grey, or streaked patterns, although some display brighter colours during the breeding season More information can be found on Wikipedia. >>>Click on an image to view the genus' of each sub family and access the species image galleries.

Gull (Laridae) : Waders, Gulls and Auks (Charadriiformes) > Gulls (Laridae) > Gulls (Larus) Gulls (Larus) Larus is a large genus of gulls with worldwide distribution (although by far the greatest species diversity is in the Northern Hemisphere). Many of its species are abundant and well-known birds in their ranges. More information can be found on Wikipedia. >>>Click on an image to view the species image galleries.

Terns (Sternidae) : Waders, Gulls and Auks (Charadriiformes) > Tern (Sternidae) Sternidae Many terns breeding in temperate zones are long-distance migrants, and the Arctic Tern probably sees more daylight than any other creature, as it migrates from its northern breeding grounds to Antarctic waters. They are, in general, medium to large birds, typically with grey or white plumage, often with black markings on the head. They have longish bills and webbed feet. They are lighter bodied and more streamlined than gulls, and look elegant in flight with long tails and long narrow wings. There are twelve genera in the family Sternidae. In common with all the galleries, I shall only be listing those I have seen and photographed. More information can be found on Wikipedia. >>>Click on an image to view the species image galleries.
