From Saturday 28th September to Sunday 6th October, Ric Else and Hazel Watson will be running Rathlin Birding Week. Keen birders are invited to stay on Rathlin during this potentially exciting period of the autumn migration season to help find and record birds on the island.
Budget-friendly shared accommodation is available for up to eight birders each night at the unofficial Rathlin Bird Observatory, in return for birding the island and contributing sightings. (Other accommodation options are also available on the island.)
Rathlin has already had some great birds in 2019, with rarities including Stilt Sandpiper, American Golden Plover, Cattle Egret, Golden Eagle (x2), White-tailed Eagle, Sabine's Gull (x2), Firecrest, Common Quail, Ring Ouzel (x4) and Tree Pipit (x7). With extra observer coverage we hope the autumn will prove just as exciting!
