Annual Reports
Situated some 2 km north of Seahouses, Monks’ House Bird Observatory was founded in 1950 and operated as an accredited bird observatory during 1951 to 1961.
For many years, annual reports on the Observatory’s operations were produced, which detailed the species recorded, birds ringed and so on, with the recording area including other well-known sites in the north of the county such as Budle Bay, the Breamish and Cheviot valleys.
