County List
The sequence of species in this list is that introduced by the British Ornithologists Union. It has been presented in sections in the following order, 1. all year residents, 2. summer migrants, 3. winter migrants, 4. passage species, 5. rarities (more than 3 county records) and 6. vagrants (less than 3 county records). Traditional species names have been used by preference. Some species could arguably fit into several sections, so in these instances a 'best-fit' approach has been adopted. If all UK birds are selected using the 'scope' option below, birds are simply displayed in BOU sequence and are not grouped into sections.
Species for which acceptance by the Breconshire Records Committee (BRC) requires written field details are indicated by an asterix (*). All rarity, vagrant and new species also require written field details for acceptance. The BRC contact details and submission form are provided for your use - download in PDF format - download in MS Word format .
The search engine has been designed so that you can search for a specific species by entering the full name i.e. ‘Little Grebe’, or to list all species containing a key word i.e. ‘Grebe’. The keyword search also searches the species scientific name.
The current county list stands at 267.
