Adult common gulls are 40–46 cm long, noticeably smaller than the herring gull, and slightly smaller than the ring-billed gull, also differing from the latter in its shorter, more tapered bill with a more greenish shade of yellow, as well as being unmarked during the breeding season. The body is grey above and white below. The legs are greenish-yellow. In winter, the head is streaked grey, and the bill often has a poorly defined blackish band near the tip (sometimes sufficiently obvious to cause confusion with ring-billed gull). They have black wingtips with large white "mirrors". Young birds have scaly black-brown upperparts and a neat wing pattern, and grey legs. They take two to three years to reach maturity. The call is a high-pitched "laughing" cry.

The Orb Web Spider Araneus Diadematus is a common garden spider, which spins a large web in relation to its own size; normal size range 8mm to 20mm. The males are significantly smaller than the females and male fatalities can occur during courtship. Eggs are laid in the autumn and the female will guard her eggs; refusing to leave them to hunt, until she dies. In the following May, newly hatched spiders are coloured yellow with a dark patch on the abdomen.
Common Buzzards in flight. I actually took these shots back in 2018. I have processed them and shown them before but was never happy with my edits. I have just done them again using different software and techniques to my previous attempts and am much, much more happy with the results. I took these when I was walking alongside the railway line at the Bluebell Railway. There was a loud screach and these birds (there were two of them) flew close overhead literally skimming the treetops. I have a number of other buzzard shots but none come close to these.
The common green lacewing (Chrysoperla carnea), about 7mm long, is a lime green, delicate insect, with translucent, intricately veined wings. It is about 7mm long and is common in gardens and parks, where it helps to control aphid pests.
A trip to WWT Slimbridge mid October. Weather was sunny intervals.
Another Common Snipe by the edge of the Rushy Pen Lagoon.

The picture of this male Common Yellowthroat Warbler was taken at the Green-wood Cemetery in Brooklyn, NY.
A Common Raven makes its presence known with a noisy arrival over a wildlife area in the northern part of the Skagit Valley in western Washington.
One of those cases where the name is appropriate - this is the common goldenyeyed duck. This and the last two shots were with my first session with my new 100-400L mark II. The Peru shots were with a rented lens. After my car was broken into and my 400L stolen, I decided to go ahead and buy the 100-400 mark II. Shoreline Lake, Mountain View, CA, USA. Dec 10 2016.

A male Common Yellowthroat peers out of an alder tangle on Brier Island, Nova Scotia. These warblers skulk around in a variety of brushy and marshy habitats throughout North and Central America.
Common Coot / fulica atra. Straws Bridge, Derbyshire. 08/02/21.
Despite a frozen lake surface, this bird had several spats with another Coot. I witnessed noisy interactions and ungainly chasing over the ice which always resulted in the 'intruder' skittering further away.
There were no physical attacks, yet if the image is viewed large, there looks to be dried blood on the Coot's beak.

I am quite fortunate to have these wonderful Common Bronzewings as residents on my property. It can be quite easy to overlook the species seen regularly, however this is not the case for me with these birds as I just love the array of colours they exhibit. From the eye catching rainbow of colours of the iridescent feathers on the wings, to the understated pastel greys, browns & maroons of their plumage. And of course that fawn & white coloured forehead of the male.
This male was waiting out a decent Summer shower.
Common Moorhen / gallinula chloropus. Kirk Hallam, Derbyshire. 27/02/21.
An easy to recognise individual because of the scarring on it's red forehead plate. Maybe the result of a fight with another bird or perhaps a physical defect/disease? It did seem rather lethargic despite it's bright eyes, so maybe an old bird?

A trip to WWT Slimbridge in Gloucestershire late October 2025.
A pair of Common Cranes flying low over the Tack Piece fields..
The Common Cranes are part of the Great Crane Project at Slimbridge. The Cranes are hatched from eggs and when at a suitable age are released on the Somerset Levels. During the winter months they choose to come back to Slimbridge to spend time on the outer fields. The leg rings are used to identify and track the individual birds. There are a couple of Cranes that have no leg rings and therefore must have been born wild. The Cranes are free to come and go at their own free will.
