About the Author

The North Cotswold Ornithological Society (NCOS) was formed in early 1983, on the initiative of Martin Wright, an active ornithologist from neighbouring Oxfordshire.  From the outset NCOS has been a committed fieldwork organization, dedicated to the recording and surveying of birds in its area.  These studies have been initiated both locally and in cooperation with national bodies such as the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO) and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
