In the last year I have seen magpies, carrion crows and common gulls nearly every day here.
What I would call common birds in the last year are skylarks, meadow pippits, ravens, jackdaws, blackbirds, robins, great tits.
The more seasonal birds are swallows, swifts, feildfares, wheatears, lesser black backed gulls and black headed gulls, along with curlews and less frequently lapwings.
There are plenty more species that drop in occasionaly, such as snipe, barn owls, tawny owls, wrens, blue tits and herons.

So that is what you find 1100 feet up in the Pennines.
