About: List of birds of Great Britain

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

This list of birds of Great Britain comprises all bird species that have been recorded in a wild state in Great Britain. It follows the official British List, maintained by the British Ornithologists' Union (BOU). Decisions relating to the British List are published by the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee (BOURC) in its annual reports in the BOU's journal Ibis. These reports were formerly geographically based and included the whole of the British Isles, but records for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are now published by their own ornithological associations. Records from the Isle of Man are adjudicated by the Manx Ornithological Society.

  • This list of birds of Great Britain comprises all bird species that have been recorded in a wild state in Great Britain. It follows the official British List, maintained by the British Ornithologists' Union (BOU). Decisions relating to the British List are published by the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee (BOURC) in its annual reports in the BOU's journal Ibis. These reports were formerly geographically based and included the whole of the British Isles, but records for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland are now published by their own ornithological associations. Records from the Isle of Man are adjudicated by the Manx Ornithological Society. Bird species admitted to the British List are those in BOU categories A, B or C: * A: species that have been recorded in an apparently natural state at least once since 1 January 1950. * B: species that were recorded in an apparently natural state at least once between 1 January 1800 and 31 December 1949, but have not been recorded subsequently. * C: species that, although originally introduced by humans, either deliberately or accidentally, have established breeding populations derived from introduced stock, which maintain themselves without necessary recourse to further introduction. Birds can be listed in more than one category: for example the Canada goose has a large introduced population but there have also been a few naturally occurring vagrants, so it meets the criteria for both categories A and C. Categories D and E (not listed here) are used for record keeping only, and species in these categories are not included in the British List: * D: species that would otherwise appear in categories A or B except that there is reasonable doubt that they have ever occurred in a natural state. * E: species that have been recorded as introductions, transportees, or escapees from captivity, and whose breeding populations (if any) are not believed to be self-sustaining. A further category (not listed here) is being compiled: * F: species recorded before 1800, including fossil species. As of 3 December 2022, there are 628 species of birds on the British List, the latest addition being the white-chinned petrel. Four species groups (birds that were not identified to species level) are included in an appendix – southern/northern giant petrel (Macronectes giganteus/halli), Fea's/Desertas petrel (Pterodroma feae/desertas), Black-bellied/White-bellied Storm Petrel (Fregetta tropica/grallaria), and Brown/South Polar skua (Stercorarius antarctica/maccormickii). Six further species are awaiting consideration by the British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee. Species listed on this page as "rare" are those for which a full description is required for acceptance of the record by the British Birds Rarities Committee. Other species have an indication of their breeding and wintering status in Great Britain. In general the avifauna of Britain is similar to that of the rest of Europe. Because of its mild winters, Great Britain has a considerable population of wintering species, particularly ducks, geese and swans. There are also a number of species, such as the oystercatcher, that are resident on the island of Great Britain, but migrants elsewhere. Britain receives a number of vagrants from Asia and North America. Some American gulls, ducks and waders are regular enough not to be considered rare, including the ring-billed gull, surf scoter and pectoral sandpiper. There is one endemic bird species found in Great Britain: the Scottish crossbill. (en)

  • 英國在世界動物地理分區上屬於舊北區，與歐洲的鳥類生態相似。根據 (British Ornithologists' Union，BOU) 的統計紀錄，英國有572種鳥類。 BOU使用以下分類: * A – 自1950年1月1日起在自然的環境下有確實證據至少有一次紀錄。 * B – 在1949年12月31日前在自然的環境下有確實證據至少有一次紀錄，但沒有後續的紀錄。 * C – 因人為或自然因素而被引入，並有固定穩定繁殖族群，不需要另外引入其他族群的種類。 * 英國官方鳥類名錄由分類 A, B 和 C 組成。 * 注意一個種類可同時被分在多於一個的分類；例如加拿大雁，少部份為自然發生(A)，另也有一部份為引入種(C)。 * D – 可被歸類為 A 或 B的種類，但紀錄被懷疑沒有確實證據仍需要檢討。 * E – 因人為因素而被引入，但數量不足以維持固定穩定繁殖族群。 * 被歸類為 D 和 E 的鳥類並不列入官方鳥類名錄中 (也不列於此表)。 (zh)
