Welcome to our website

We record the county's birds in our Annual Report, so we need your Records. We have a stunning Gallery, so we need your photos. We discuss things on Cambirds, we do Research, we have indoor Meetings, we have a Partnership with an African bird-club and we inform you with our regular Bulletins and lots more.

You can see 'What's About?' and we urge you to report promptly interesting sightings to the County Recorder on 07810 622756.

We hope you enjoy your visit and come back soon.
