Beskrivning
The Calf of Man is a rocky islet, half a mile off the south-west coast of the Isle of Man, in the middle of the Irish Sea. The steep slate cliffs are particularly attractive to sea birds. Calf of Man is good for waders (skärsnäppa, storspov, ljungpipare), seabirds such as stormfågel, havssula and tretåig mås, raptors and passerines. Rarities seen include tajgasångare, småfläckig sumphöna, tajgablåstjärt, Rödögd vireo and mindre flugsnappare. Grey seals haul ashore in autumn to have their pups.

Since 1959, organised ornithological work has been carried out on the Calf of Man under the supervision of appointed wardens. In 1962 it became an officially recognised Bird Observatory. The Observatory is located in the former farmhouse in the centre of the islet and is open from spring to autumn each year. There is self-catering accommodation on the Calf of Man at the Observatory.
