I've set aside one page to describe the birds that visit my garden, and another showing the results from my involvement in the BTO's Garden BirdWatch survey.

There are also pages relating to the West Midland Bird Club and some of the local RSPB groups.

All the images on this site are my own, and you can see some of these on my photographs page.

Please e-mail me and tell me what you think of the site - all constructive criticism is welcome.
