Rathlin Bird Report

The Rathlin Bird Report 2020 is now available and free to download at: https://rathlinstickybeak.wordpress.com/2021/02/13/rathlin-bird-report-2020/

If you've been missing Rathlin's birdlife during the lockdown, this is the place to catch up with everything that's being going on. Read about a Siberian invasion, a new species for Rathlin, seabird surprises, and much more besides. As usual, there’s a comprehensive summary of all the year's sightings, detailed observations from the famous seabird colony, and just about everything else you could possibly wish to know about the island's birds.

It's also illustrated throughout with photos taken on the island, and we hope this will whet your appetite for a visit once it's appropriate to travel again.
