NewsMap Lite - Rare and scarce birds in the British Isles today

Welcome to NewsMap Lite. Click on the symbols on the map to find the basic details on the latest breaking rare and scarce birdnews for Britain and Ireland.  To see details of each sighting you need to use the subscriber only "NewsMap".

If you know about a rare bird not yet reported today, or have an update, please contribute your own sightings - full details of the ways you can report sightings are here or you can email us your news

Some reports on NewsMap have photos of the birds, contributed by users, so if you have any to add, please contribute and upload your own photos, or email us your photos to be displayed on NewsMap Lite.

NOTE: NewsMap Lite displays rare, scarce and mega birdnews and is a limited version. The subscriber-only versions: NewsMap and NewsMap Plus have full details of each sighting, filters, and other features available only to subscribers.  Note also that 'NewsMap Lite' does not show the news of all the uncommon species that we report on - this free version only shows the rarest.
