The brand new Fair Isle Bird Observatory is now complete and 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.
