Foreign Bird Trips

Rather than display bird trip reports (a function already undertaken elsewhere on the internet), we have instead on this page set out links to trip reports from local birders. We hope that this information allows local birders to plan trips and make contact with participants if planning a future trip. If you have a trip report already published on the web, please let us know at nibirds@live.co.uk and we will put a link on.
