The annual Arran Bird Report 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 in 2025, information on ringed birds, reports on some of Arran's bird projects. The report is in full colour and is beautifully illustrated with photographs from twenty-two photographers. The uniqueness of Arran is reflected throughout the report, including the number of UK protected birds that share our island with us, as well as the differences between here and the adjacent mainland. More information on the 2025 report can be found on the Arran Birding website.

Cost:

£9.99, plus postage as required

The annual report is available from outlets on Arran. It is also available to purchase online through one of our local shops, Arran Active, for free click and collect or to be posted out.
