Breckland Bird List |
||||
|
The following list is provisional as an exhaustive review of literature has yet to be carried out. Currently*, the list stands at 276 species, although only 260 have occurred in a wild state since 1950. Species in brown are those that have bred in the Brecks during the last 10 years, those in square brackets only occurred prior to 1950 and those in green may not have occurred in a wild state (this excludes naturalized species established in the area). Some recent British Ornithologist Union splits have yet to be implemented. (* based on the 1999 Breckland Bird Report). |
