Join in the fun of the Isle of Man Christmas Bird Race 2024!
The Isle of Man Christmas Bird Race is an island-wide collaborative effort. It isn’t a competition between individual birdwatchers. The aim is for birdwatchers across the Island to work together to see as many species as possible.
The rules are simple:
- You can spend as little or as much time as you wish looking for birds on, above and around the Island within Manx territorial waters;
- Sightings must be made in the 7-day period from Christmas Day to New Year's Eve inclusive (i.e. 00:01 on 25th December to 23:59 on 31st December);
- It isn’t a competition! The aim is for everyone collectively to see as many species as possible.
----------
See the sightings table below which will be updated regularly during the Bird Race period.
----------
Submit your sightings:
- Online via www.manxbirdlife.im/sightings/submit
- Twitter using hashtag #ManxBirdRace
- By completing and returning the downloadable recording card
For all observations, please send your name, date, location (including OS Grid Ref. if you know it), what you saw (species, how many) and any interesting aspects of what you saw.
Please note: Taking part does not imply or grant permission to enter onto any private property. Please consider the welfare of birds and other wildlife when taking part. Thank you.
