The new Fair Isle Bird
Observatory combines modern spacious guest accommodation
with improved research facilities. The new building sits in the same
magnificent location in Maver’s Cup, close to the picturesque North Haven.
The completion of the new Bird Observatory coincides with the departure of
Deryk and Hollie Shaw who have been Warden and Administrator for the past 12
years. David and Susannah Parnaby arrived on Fair Isle at the beginning of
March and have now taken over the reins of running the Observatory and
taking FIBO forward into the future.
Fair Isle Bird Observatory has
always been a fantastic place for a holiday, whether you are a birder,
island lover or just want to enjoy peace and quiet and visit somewhere
unique. With the vastly improved visitor facilities, including en-suite
bedrooms, a visitor centre and modern touches such as Wi-Fi, it is now
second to none.
