The Rare birds in Herts page has been updated with 2021 rarity decisions. Go to Herts Bird Club | Rare Bird Decisions

The page shows records of county rarities which have been assessed by the Herts Bird Club | Herts Rare Birds Panel  since 2008. To be assessed a description must be submitted.

There are 8 records of county rarities from 2021 (see list below) which have not been assessed because a description has not been received.

It is never too late to submit a description of a rarity, and descriptions from observers of the records below will be gratefully received and assessed.

To submit a description please complete Herts Rarity description form and email it to birdrecorder@hnhs.org along with a photo of the bird if available.

If you need any help completing the description form, or have any other questions with respect to Herts Rare birds, please email birdrecorder@hnhs.org
