Dean Birders       

The Dean Birders project was the result of two keen birdwatchers getting together and wanting to share their hobby with those that have difficulty getting out and about. We want to set up feeder stations and nesting boxes in the gardens of those people that are either elderly or have a disability and are limited to the house.                    

This is a new concept for me having my own web site. Hopefully it will bring together my two forms of photography - Digiscoping and DSLR. I hope you enjoy my site.

SOME USEFUL NATIONAL SOCIETIES FOR BIRDERS



B.T.O British Trust for Ornithology

The British Trust for Ornithology has existed since 1933 as an independent, scientific research trust,
investigating the populations, movements and ecology of wild birds in the British Isles. Their speciality
is the design and implementation of volunteer wild bird surveys. The BTO's partnership between a large
number of volunteers and a small scientific staff has proved to be a powerful, productive and
cost-effective way of monitoring wild birds.
