Birding British Overseas Territories

Saint Helena, Ascension Island and Tristan da Cuna are all British overseas Territories in the South Atlantic with the nearest land mass most often being Africa or Antarctica. Below you will find links to their individual pages. Follow those links to detailed information on each of the islands.

Often on pelagic cruises all three islands will be visited so that the majority of trip reports cover all three territories.
