List of 9-letter Birds that end with T

    1

    Cormorant

    Phalacrocoracidae (family)

    A diving water bird with non-waterproof feathers — visible drying with spread wings on rocks and pilings, used for centuries by Asian fishermen as living fishing tools, and now ecologically critical fish-eaters across coastal and inland waters worldwide.

    2

    Firecrest

    Regulus ignicapilla

    The more brilliant cousin of the goldcrest — the firecrest matches the goldcrest in size (one of Europe's smallest birds) but is more vividly marked; the male has a brilliant orange-red crest stripe flanked by black, white supercilium, and bronze patches on the sides of the neck giving a jewelled appearance; a scarce but increasing breeder in Britain, mainly in spruce woodland in southern England.

    3

    Goldcrest

    Regulus regulus

    Britain's smallest bird — the goldcrest weighs as little as a 10-pence coin, and at 4–7 g is the joint-smallest bird in Europe alongside the firecrest; a tiny olive-green bird with a bright stripe on the crown — yellow in females, orange-red in males, displayed when excited; common in coniferous woodland and one of the most abundant British birds despite suffering severe losses in cold winters.

    4

    Guillemot

    Uria aalge

    A sea-going auk that nests by the million on vertical sea cliffs, packing shoulder-to-shoulder in dense colonies — it flies underwater using its wings to pursue fish to depths of 180 metres, and its pear-shaped egg rolls in a circle rather than off the cliff edge if knocked.

    5

    Stonechat

    Saxicola rubicola

    A compact, upright chat of heathland and coastal scrub — the male has a striking black head, white collar, and bright orange breast, and sits prominently on gorse or bramble stems making a harsh "wheet-tsak-tsak" call like two pebbles being knocked together; year-round resident on British heathland, it is one of the first birds to establish territories in January.

    6

    Willow Tit

    Poecile montanus

    Britain's most rapidly declining resident bird — the willow tit has lost over 90% of its British population since the 1970s, one of the steepest declines of any British species; virtually identical to the marsh tit but distinguishable by its duller black cap, pale wing panel, and very different nasal buzzing call; it excavates its own nest hole in rotten wood, an unusual behaviour for a tit.
