The Observatory's Annual Report documents the events of the birding year with a review of the year, systematic list of all the birds recorded, along with articles, a ringing summary and details of seabird numbers, trends and breeding success.
During 1951-67, FIBO produced a Bulletin (essentially for Friends of Fair Isle) and from, 1948, a more formal Report. These were combined into one annual Report from 1968.
