The Indian Peafowl (Pavo cristatus) is a familiar bird in the UK, often bred as part of collections. It is a native species of India, actually being India’s national bird.

Oxford Island (CR-L-OI01)
Northern Ireland's Lough Neagh is the largest lake in the British Isles. Five of Northern Ireland's six counties have shores on the Lough. It is a haven for wildlife, attracting many species of bird during both winter and summer months. An old Irish legend tells of how the Lough was formed, when Irish giant Finn McCool grabbed a lump of land and threw it at a rival Scottish giant. He missed, and the earth landed in the Irish Sea, creating the Isle of Man.
Forget-Me-Not (EL-F-FMN01)
The Forget-Me-Not (Boraginaceae) is a very popular and beautiful little spring flower, of which there are around 50 different varieties. The flowers are very small, usually no more than 1cm across. Many historical stories and legends surround where the forget-me-not took its name, a name that translates into a lot of languages worldwide, many of which point towards a symbol of faithfulness and love.
Robin Redbreast (EL-B-RR05)
Possibly the UK’s most famous garden bird, the Robin (Erithacus rubecula) is a very common site in UK gardens and parks. Originally known as a Redbreast due to it’s distinct red patch, it was eventually given the name Robin as it was popular to give human names to familiar birds centuries ago. Although perceived to be quite a gentle species, robins are very territorial and aggressive, defending their territory against other birds ruthlessly.
Goldfinch (CR-B-GF17)
The Goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis) is undoubtedly the UK’s most colourful finch, complete with its striking red face. Unlike Greenfinches & Chaffinches, male and female goldfinches are virtually indistinguishable, though it can be said that the male has a broader, darker red face mask, extending just behind the eye.
