Below is a list of up-coming birding-related events on the Island. There are a huge variety of birding experiences to enjoy on Skye, ranging from coastal walks to general boat trips, to specific areas of study and research, many of which are co-ordinated by the RSPB and the British Trust for Ornithology. We also post here any more general wildlife-related events which we feel may be of interest to our visitors.
