List of species requiring a description
This is a list of species that require a description and/or photograph to confirm the identification. Records of nationally rare should be submitted to the British Bird Rarities Committee (BBRC) for assessment. Local rarities are adjudicated by the Herts Rare Bird Panel.
A description form (in MS Word format) is available to download here and should be emailed to the County Bird Recorder, or returned by post to the address as shown on the form.
Please note that in addition to the below, Great White Egret and Caspian Gull (excluding sightings at Amwell) require local rarity descriptions for records up to and including 31 December 2017.
