The Arran Bird Report 2015

With a stunning photograph of a Stonechat on the front cover the Arran Bird Report 2015 is yet another eye-catching annual report. It is a “must” for anyone interested in the birds of Arran.  It includes information on all species seen on Arran, a month by month summary of what was around last year, the impact of weather on birds, information on ringed birds and reports on some of Arran’s bird projects. The uniqueness of Arran is reflected throughout the report, including the number of UK protected birds that share our island, as well as the differences between here and the adjacent mainland.  Over three hundred contributors sent in over eleven thousand records on one hundred and sixty-two species, one of which had never been recorded on Arran before.

The cost is £5, plus £1.50 p&p, and it is available from available from shops and other outlets throughout Arran from Easter and directly from Arran Natural History Society c/o Lindsey & Robert Marr, Tiree, Brodick Road, Lamlash, Isle of Arran, KA27 8JU or contact marr.tiree98@btinternet.com.
