The Pitcairn Islands are four volcanic islands or atolls in the southeastern Pacific Ocean. The climate is humid subtropical. The highest elevation is on the island of Pitcairn at 347 m above sea level. The elevated Henderson Atoll has the largest area, is uninhabited but is home to four endemic bird species. The eponymous volcanic island of Pitcairn is significantly smaller, is the only inhabited island and has an endemic bird species. The Pitcairn Islands are difficult to access, requiring permission to enter, and cruise ships are often content with circumnavigating the main island. This multilingual (en, de, fr, es, ja, cn) bird guide introduces the entire bird life of the Pitcairn Islands in colored pictures. Where available, links to the valuable websites of UNESCO, BirdLife International and the Ramsar Organization are provided, which characterize the country and help to find the best sites for birdwatching.
