Abstract. We report optical, near-infrared and X-ray observations of the afterglow of GRB 050814,
which was seen to exhibit very red optical colours. By modelling its spectral energy distribution we
find that z = 5.3± 0.3. We next present a carefully selected sample of 19 Swift GRBs, intended to
estimate in an unbiased way the GRB redshift distribution, including the mean redshift (zmean) as
well as constraints on the fraction of high-redshift bursts. We find that zmean = 2.7 and that at least
5% of the GRBs originate at z 5. The redshift distribution of the sample is qualitatively consistent
with models where the GRB rate is proportional to the star formation rate in the Universe. The high
mean redshift of this GRB sample and the wide redshift range clearly demonstrates the suitability
of GRBs as efficient probes of galaxies and the intergalactic medium over a significant fraction of
the history of the Universe.
