Visiting the Azores in 2013?

If you are planning to visit the Azores for birdwatching this year then please let us know at azoresbs@hotmail.co.uk. Especially during autumn migration, when many observers visit the islands, this will allow you to exchange news with other birders.

We will continue to use Facebook as a social networking site to update birders with the latest sightings across the islands as it happens - just add 'Azores Bird Sightings' as a friend and you will be kept informed. To use this service, you need to be an existing Facebook user.
