Rules for Inclusion

1. All records must be accepted by BBRC or LNHS Rarities Committee
2. Recent additions not yet accepted by the BBRC/LNHS can be counted provided they had multiple observers [however you'll have to wait for the BOU to decide on the Slaty-backed Gull].
3. Only BOU species count - see LondonList - total 367 species (including Buff-bellied Pipit).
4. UK400 club splits do not count
5. Escapes/feral birds such as the Barnes Whooper Swan and all Ruddy Shelducks do not count. Barnacle Geese do not count unless proven to be from a feral population in the Midlands or East Anglia (or wild birds). However all free-flying Red-crested Pochards now count as they've reached Category C status.
6. All species must be seen in the LNHS Recording Area - 20 miles from St Paul's Cathedral
7. Species can be counted if heard only
8. Birds that were trapped and ringed may be counted providing they were released close to where they were caught.
9. Birds taken into care and later released do not count unless they are still present the day after release.
