Here's
the updated
list of birds recorded in the Lounge Lizard area. Category D and
escaped species have now been added at the bottom of the page. The eagle-eyed
may spot one or two or..... species that are not recorded in other avifaunas.
These were either not accepted by the relevant Rarities Committees or not
formally submitted. We would like to stress that this list is not
intended to be authoritative just simply to document the species
recorded locally by reliable lounge dwelling ornithologists!!!
