I'm stuck on this as I am very fond of 3.
In no particular order:
- Robin
- Wren
- Bluetit
The wren amuses me as its noise : size ratio is incredible. Loud as **** in song yet tiny tidgy weeny in size.

Would have to be the Kea. Cheeky little gits. Kinda like the NED of the bird world.
So much fun sitting at the South Island ski resorts and watching them destroy other peoples cars/skis/boards/bikes etc

Seen a few peregrine falcons around Mill Hill near shoreham last summer. Looking forward to the warmer weather and walking my dog round there again to catch a glimpse of them stooping. It's an amazing sight.

Puffins are ace - spent many an hour on long yacht races being ammused by their antics.

Where I work we have dozens of Red Kites, love watching them soar, just effortless.
Did a bird survey in Uni, if Blue Tits were the size of crows we would all live in fear, they strike so hard they actually bend their skulls.
Keas are just aggro buggers, well so would you be if you were an alpine parrot.

At the moment I have to say sea eagles after having seen two of them soaring above the Tay estuary near Tentsmuir forest a few weeks ago. have seen then on Mull but after seeing them so close to home I'm smitten.

The buzzards were putting on quite a show around loch tummel last weekend, some crossed the road at what seemed like head height about 5 metres in front of me!
Am a huge fan of the capercaillie at the moment, seeing footage on youtube of one taking out David Attenborough was classic. Looking forward to going to caper-watch at Loch Garten this year.
Have a soft spot for Heron as well, never fail to impress me when I see them standing stock still at a riverside, and very prehistoric looking in flight (Have heard stories of Sea Eagles taking Heron, that would be impressive!)

A Woodpecker that wakens me up every morning, much better than the alarm.

I don't think I can pick one.
Crows are beautiful and entertaining to watch.Most sea birds are pretty good too. I've never seen a wild bird of paradise but bet they are stunning. We have quite a few eagles and kites here and they are great when out riding as they tend to follow us along the trail.
Swifts are pretty impressive too and I could happy watch them all afternoon.
Over the last three weeks we have had swallows buzzing around our roof and they are great to watch. Not only are they a sign of Spring but they have good interaction too.Maybe swallows at the moment.

Nah, boobies are better. Much bigger you see.

Too many birds to single out one, but I am currently enjoying seeing Jays in the grounds at work. I suppose they're fairly common round here (Hampsire/Surrey) but back in South Wales where I live they are quite rare. I like to think of how the geology affects the soil and consequently the plants, trees and wildlife.
Edit: and there's also green woodpeckers here too, you get some great views of them since they are so used to people.

I like watching Starlings strut about and squabble, got lovely markings too
Sadly overlooked bird, but great characters to have in the gardenPosted 2 years ago # -
A slightly surreal experience was hearing a Starling mimic a Curlew, all the more so because it was in someone's back garden, not the lonesome wetlands I would normally associate with Curlews.

MM: is that a Harris[es] Hawk? One day I intend having one - go the location, just need the previous experience now.

A shoebill I'd say, although there was a decent sized eagle owl in a cage in a garden in satterthwaite. That was a fair sized thing.

I dislike birds. Anything with feathers is not to be trusted or admired. Kinda like bearded men.
