Welcome to the Aviary

An illustrated guide to more than 80 of Britain's wild birds of mountains, lowlands, rivers, lakes and shores.

Also included is a selection of beautiful birds from other parts of the world. The links go to pages intended mainly for newcomers to birdwatching, but we hope that experienced birders will at least enjoy some of the pictures.
