If you are up for it you can join the Ranger for an early morning check of the bird traps - don't worry, the birds are not injured. But you do have to get up early - about 6 AM. It is very interesting because any birds that are found are taken back to the Bird Observatory where they are weighed, measured and ringed. You can participate in some or all of this depending on the species.

Address: Fair Isle Bird Observatory
Directions: Go to the Fair Isle Bird Observatory where your trap rounds will start - FIBO is just above North Haven
