Silwood Park

Imperial College London's Silwood Park campus is based near Sunninghill, Berkshire.

 

It is home to a small community of postgraduate students.

​

Comprised of 100 hectares of rural parkland, the estate supports many species of birds, many of which are endemic to the UK.

​

This website is an attempt to catalogue all the birds which I have personally seen or heard in Silwood Park.

​

It comprises of 29 species in total, ranging from the tiny wren to the mighty red kite.

​

The great avian diversity could be in part down to the heterogeneous landscape, with woodland, open grassland, and ponds - as well as students putting out bird feeders to attract even more.
