Welcome to ..........   mygardenbirds.co.uk, a webcam and general information site based in a typical urban garden on the western edge of the Black Country in central England. 35 species of birds have been recorded (landed) in this garden, with another 15 species observed flying over. A grand total of 50.
Most recent birds of interest: Just 2km away, we observed a Hobby when carrying out a survey for the BTO atlas (see Links for info.)

This small, west facing garden is to the rear of our semi-detached house in Kingswinford. Our easterly view is across a school field towards the town of Dudley. Baggeridge Country Park is to the north and to the east is Fens Pool Nature Reserve. Clive & Sheila have lived here since Feb 2000 when feeding the birds commenced. At peak times of the year a flock of 60 to 70 House Sparrow can be seen feeding!   Web site & Camera installed in July 2005. (see note below)
