West Midland Bird Club

County Lists for the Region, 2000

Introduction

These tables show all species in categories A to C of The British List reliably recorded in the area covered by the current boundaries of the four counties of the Region since records were kept. The regional total as at 31 December 2000 was unchanged from 1999, at 336 . The year shown is the latest (to 2000) in which the species has been observed in each county.

Species in [square brackets] refer to birds on The British List which, within the Region, are not thought to have occurred except as escapes or releases from captivity and these do not contribute towards county totals: "nk" refers to reliable, but undated, 19th century records. A record shown as "<1836" occurred before that year.

We would welcome details of birds you have seen in the four counties of the West Midland region.
