Please note that records of certain species eg raptors and any other sensitive/schedule 1 species on suitable breeding habitat will not be entered on this page during the breeding season other than under "undisclosed site"). All reports are still important as these will be passed onto the relative people/groups who monitor them. Please also note that this website is NOT connected to the BOG annual report and all records should be sent to the BOG recorder Mark Doveston as well for inclusion in the annual report. Any reports of rare birds are just that, reports and are not records which have been verified by the relevant records commitees. Thank you
