Missing records

Updated: 11 April 2025

This file contains details of all birds reported to the bird information services in 2024 that we currently have no submissions for. It also contains a few records from 2023 for which we would be grateful to receive submissions for too. 

If you were the finder then please send in a submission giving a description, details of the finding and any photo(s). A submission form can be found here. If you know the finder of one of these birds, then please contact them for the same. This helps to keep our Annual Report, to be published in October’s British Birds, as comprehensive as possible.

This list may contain multiple sightings of the same bird, in which case its always very helpful to make that clear in a submission. The dates are those from the BIS, and may differ on rare occasions from dates known to the local observers. 

Many thanks to Chris Batty and RBA for providing the list. 

Thank you for your help.
