How to use the Blog

The Blog part of this website contains more up to date information.

On the left hand side is a list of categories that when you click on the name will expand. In each category there is a brief summary of each note. When you click on each summary it opens to give the full note. A photograph is often used to illustrate the note and this can be seen by clicking the attachment.

Here is a little bit about each category.

Welcome - a brief statement on Birding on Arran

Monthly Sightings - a selection of highlights from each month. These have appeared as bird notes in the “Arran Banner”, a local paper.

Recent Sightings - some recent bird sightings on Arran

Photos - there are five sections in this category. Click on Photos and it will expand to -
The Coast; Uplands; Woodland and Farmland; Burns and Ponds; and Gardens. Each section has a selection of photos.

Notes on Specific Birds - background notes on Arran Birds. These also have appeared as bird notes in the “Arran Banner”, a local paper

General Birding Articles - more general birding notes. These also have appeared as bird notes in the “Arran Banner”, a local paper.

Surveys and how to get involved - Arran is under-watched and under-recorded. All contributions of bird sightings are welcome. I am not just interested in rare or unusual birds, but also common birds...

Arran Bird Talks and Walks - activities during the year

Accommodation on Arran - some contact details for accommodation providers who have asked for their details to be on the Blog.

Injured Birds - some contact details for organisations who help with injured birds

Local SOC Bird Recorders – just in case you watch birds in other local areas.

On the right hand side of the Blog are links to useful birding websites.

If you would like to add either comments or photographs to the Blog please send these to info@arranbirding.co.uk . All contributions are welcome.

If you would like to be alerted by email when notes or photographs are added to the Blog, please use the part on the left “Create an Account” (it does not involve any payment) and complete the appropriate on screen instructions.

Enjoy your birding.
