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!!!
