Hi,
I visited the IOM a while back in August.
Best sites were-
Peel- view the sea and the harbour from around the castle- Basking sharks, seals. Fulmars, Eider, Black guillemots.
Calf of Man, check the fields en route for Chough.
Langness- a nice walk down to the point, commoner waders etc.
Point of Ayre - manx shearwaters, gannets, close views of auks- beware the young gullemots and razorbills that look quite odd.
:)

For advice about Birding, Identification,field guides, binoculars, scopes, tripods, etc - put 'Birding Tips' into the search box
Brilliant Seymour, thank you very much. I'm still hopeless on ID so no doubt I will be snapping everything in sight and filling up the "Identify this" forum on my return!!!
Cheers, Linda.
