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).
