As bird recorder for the Arran Natural History Society, I prepare the annual Arran Bird Report.

To help with the preparation of the annual Arran Bird Report, please send any bird notes with “what, when, where” to me at info@arranbirding.co.uk . The island is under-watched and under-recorded. All contributions are welcome.  I am not just interested in rare or unusual birds, but common birds: where there are significant numbers of common birds, which birds come to the garden at different times of the year, where breeding birds have been seen, when our summer or winter  visitors have arrived or departed, and what sightings have given individuals particular pleasure. 

Anything that is of interest to you will be of interest to me. In addition to contributing to the Arran Bird Report all sightings will be forwarded to www.birdatlas.net and thus contribute to the National Bird Atlas.

I know that a number of people keep for their own interest, all sorts of bird notes and I would encourage these people to share this information with me, so that the basis of the annual Arran Bird Report can be as comprehensive as possible.

I look forward to hearing from you
