112 different species of birds spotted

Isle of Man Christmas Bird Race takes place over seven-day period

More than 100 different species of birds were spotted on the Isle of Man between Christmas and New Year.

Manx Birdlife's annual Christmas race takes place between midnight on Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Birdwatchers record the different types of birds they see over the seven-day period, and send details to the charity, which compiles a list of all varieties spotted.

There were 112 species seen in 2019, falling just short of the record of 116 set the year before.
