The Birds of Bradford Recording Area, including Rarities and Occasional Visitors
Species authenticated by Bradford Ornithological Group Records Committee
The Bradford Ornithological Group - Species Checklist has been updated to now include all records up to December 2024 including the Scarlet Tanager that turned up near Shelf in November last year. Our area list now stands at 266 species since the group was formed in 1987 and has been adjusted to allow for the recent splits (Bean Geese) and lumping (Redpolls).
The full text descriptions will be updated later in the year.
