Islander Programme

The Islander programmer aims to reward those who visit repeatedly in one season. This is available to all members and means that you will only ever pay for four overnight visits in any one season with the rest being free. This is also available to pay up front for £150 or £12.50 per month by direct debit for unlimited visits each season.


By joining as a member of CBO you can benefit from a host of member-only perks as well as 50% off your overnight visit feed. Your annual subscription will help us to continue monitoring and recording the birds breeding on and migrating through the Copelands. The sometimes severe weather conditions which hit the Island in winter cause extra wear and tear on our buildings and Heligoland traps which therefore need regular repair and maintenance. Despite this, we have managed to steadily improve the standard of accommodation over the years.
