Here's a photo tour of some common English Birds. Keep in mind

The two most common songbirds of England are the omni-present Blackbird:
Male Blackbird
and the insouciant Chaffinch:
Male Chaffinch
England has apparently lost a great many of its historical breeding
species but has managed to attract other avian newcomers.
I missed the
Rose-Ringed Parakeets, but had little trouble observing such attractive examples as
paired-off Tufted Ducks and Pheasants.
Male Tufted Duck,
summer plumage
Male Pheasant
Here's the bird list. A lot of iffies were deleted for various reasons,
particularly if I couldn't be sure a bird was an unbanded wild bird rather
than an ornamental. I needed to see evidence that waterfowl, especially,
were free-flying and unbanded. Introduced but now accepted breeding species
like Mandarin Duck don't make it an easy job, so there were some judgment calls.
