The book mentions many different types of birds, and these are the ones I am not familiar with:
Jackdaws are birds closely related to, but generally smaller than, crows and ravens.
The common starling is a highly gregarious species, especially in autumn and winter.
Finches are small to medium-sized birds. Finches generally have stout conical bills adapted for eating seeds and nuts and often have colourful plumage.
Larks are small to medium-sized birds that reside in open countryside from desert to alpine tundra.
The oystercatchers are a group of waders which are found on coasts worldwide apart from the polar regions and some tropical regions of Africa and South East Asia.
The common redshank is a widespread breeding bird across temperate Eurasia. It is a migratory species, wintering on coasts around the Mediterranean.
The sanderling is a small wading bird.
The curlews are birds, characterised by their long, slender, downcurved bills and mottled brown plumage.
The brambling is a migratory bird, often seen in very large flocks.
Thrushes are plump, soft-plumaged, small to medium-sized birds, inhabiting wooded areas, and often feeding on the ground.
Gannets are large white birds with yellowish heads, black-tipped wings and long bills.
