The following pages summarise the status of Lancashire's birds as of 2002.
BREEDING is based on Breeding Bird
Survey 1997-1999 PASSAGE/WINTER is based on records
for last 25 years (1974-1998) The new 'Birds of Lancashire' is available from Subbuteo and details the status of Lancashire birds up to 2006 with even a few reords from 2007 thrown in for good measure. The systematic list has been revised in accordance with the latest BOU list. The full systematic order can be found in an excel file by clicking here.
Species and Sub-species Requiring Full DescriptionsThe following species require a description if they are to be admitted into the official list as they are significant rarities in the regional sense. Natioanl rarities should be sent to the BBRC panel but all should ideally be sent via the Recorder. Black Brant |
