Isle of Man Birding

Most birders, when asked about the Isle of Man, only mention the Calf of Man Bird Observatory - but it is so much more than that 'little rock' off the south-western tip of the main island!

With a wide variety of habitats ranging from mountain and moor land, sea-cliffs, coastal heath land, sandy beaches, tidal pools and a variety of woods and plantations, the Isle of Man must have a bigger range of 'bird friendly' locations than any other similar sized area in the British Isles. Just look at the  Hotspots section for a taster.

It is our intention with this website to illustrate  just what a great place the island can be for the visiting birder/naturalist. All the photographs on the site were taken by ourselves using a variety of digital equipment (see About Us for a detailed list of the equipment we use).

The Recent Reports section is updated regularly - at least several times a week.
