We have updated our missing records file again, please do have a look to see if you can help us by submitting outstanding rarities from 2024 (and a few notables from 2023). We aim to put out an updated version of this every 2-3 weeks until report time. britishbirds.co.uk/rarities-…

This is likely to be our last post on Twitter. We'll remain an active account to stop others using the name, and in the hope Twitter becomes Twitter again, and not X. Please find us in the rapidly growing birding community over on the blue butterfly site.

We have uploaded an updated version of our submission form to the website at bbrc.org.uk/submit-a-sightin… It has a couple of new bits to fill in that will help us, mainly asking for details if it is a returning bird or considered 'same as' another sighting. Thanks.

Given current events at Flamborough, its worth reiterating a call for post-1990 Red-headed Bunting submissions that we first published in BB in May 2022. Thanks.

A little reminder that we are asking for submissions of all Red-headed Buntings post-1990 (inc spring males) and would especially like to receive descriptions of the Oct 94 and Oct 98 buntings on Isles of Scilly, as original submissions seem to be lost. Thanks @scillybirds
