About The Gloster Birder

My name is Mike King and have lived all my life in Gloucestershire. I am happiest birding around Frampton but I especially love Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. I have birded all over Europe, in the U.S.A. and Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, Belize, Madeira, Mexico, Grand Cayman, Dominican Republic, The Gambia, the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana, Tanzania, Trinidad & Tobago, Turkey and most recently Thailand.
