Welcome
to The Gloster Birder. My name is Mike King and have lived all my life in
Gloucestershire. I am happiest birding around Frampton but I especially love Cornwall.
I hope you
will find this site interesting. It includes County news, sites to
visit, trip reports and other information about birds in Gloucestershire and
beyond. This site has now been running since August 2000, thanks to
all my regulars and anyone else who has been kind enough to visit these pages.
Please call back from time to time to see the new developments and of course, it
will still be updated most days. You can
e-mail me at any time at Mike@surfbirder.com
with
your thoughts, comments or contributions.
Gloucestershire is one of the best
counties to see many special birds.
There
are many important sites throughout the county and you will find a short report
on each of the sites by clicking on the links to the left. There is also a
County list showing first dates if known. I have used as references the
excellent “Birds of Gloucestershire” by Christopher M. Swaine and also the
Gloucestershire Bird Reports from 1951 to date. Many
thanks to all of the photographers who have really brought this site to life.
See the Photo Index to fully
appreciate their wonderful contributions.
