North Ronaldsay Bird Sightings. The North Ronaldsay Bird Observatory. Though very common in North America this is the first recorded sighting of the species in Europe.
The North Ronaldsay Bird Observatory is a real hub for the island featuring accommodation shop and café and plenty of birdwatching acquaintances to share sightings with. It is one of the best places in Britain for birding. Almost all of the island is free to move through.
