Introduction
Manx BirdLife is a charity, registered on the Isle of Man, which has been formed to undertake scientific research on the birds of the Island. It is run by a Board of Directors, employs full-time and seasonal contract staff to carry out detailed studies of the birds of the Isle of Man. It is based in the village of Laxey, on the Isle of Man. Founded in September 1997 the charity commenced a five-year research programme begining in April 1998. The results of the fieldwork and detailed analysis were published in 2007 in the 389 page Manx Bird Atlas book.
Since the original atlas work was completed, the charity has continued its work monitoring the birds of the Isle of Man. In April 2008, the charity was renamed Manx BirdLife in recognition of its longer term aims. In October 2008, Manx BirdLife entered into a partnership with the RSPB; the aim being to combine local expertise on the status of species and their habitats with the resources and know-how of the RSPB to ensure the long term conservation of the bird life of the Island.
