Note on sensitive species

this is a short note to clarify why certain records are posted under the title "undisclosed site". The site name is not mentioned where the safety or breeding success of the birds could be compromised due to it being publicised. This could be in the form of disturbance, persecution or egg collecting and thus sightings of certain species will not be published. This is not to be awkward but simply to put the birds welfare first. Some of these species are excluded from the website at the request of organisations such as the RSPB and English Nature.

We would still welcome all sightings to be submitted and more importantly would encourage all birders to submit their records to the BOG recorder as sending them to be included on the website is completely seperate from the BOG records database/annual reports.

Below is a list of species where the site name will remain confidential. We hope this carifies the matter and that it does not cause any inconevience and that birders appreciate the need for this discretion

All Schedule 1 species present on breeding territory and/or present in the breeding season. A list of all of these can be found on www.rbbp.org.uk/specieslists.html. Note this includes LRP, Kingfisher and Black Redstart

All Raptor and Owl species on breeding territory and/or present in the breeding season. There is some overlap here with the previous section.

All Hen Harrier and Goshawk records.

All Nightjar sites.

All sites which are private and/or sensitive where access arrangements for birders may be compromised.

yours

Long-eared Owl Survey 2006

If anyone is interested in covering a site(s) for this years survey please could they contact Andy Jowett at andy.jowett@btopenworld.com

It is hoped that we will cover all previous breeding sites as well as potential new ones. In 2005 we discovered three new sites and it is thought there are many more throughout the recording area. The 2005 survey produced a total of 15 pairs with young.

Adults will be calling from now onwards but an easier way of finding succesful nesting sites is listening for the young hunger calling around dusk from mid-May onwards.

thanks

Andy
