West Midland Bird Club: County Lists 2005

The following table shows all species in categories A to C of The British List

that have been reliably recorded in the area covered by the current boundaries of the four counties of our region, since records were kept. The regional total as at 31 December 2005 was 343 (see 'Changes'). The year shown is the latest in which the species has been observed in each county.

Subspecies or races are not included in the totals. "nk" refers to reliable, but undated, 19th–century records. A record shown as "<1836" occurred before that year.

The Details column is used to indicate for which species a description or supporting details are required. As the status of each species is not necessarily the same across the four counties of the West Midland region, a description or supporting details may be required for some counties but not for others. The level of detail required will, of course, vary with the species concerned; some requiring only a brief sentence while other, rarer species, more detailed notes. However, if the bird you are claiming is unfamiliar to you, or you are unsure of its identity, then don't be afraid to send in a description — even if it is not requested. The following abbreviations are used:
