For many birders keeping lists of birds seen in a particular locality or year is an

enjoyable aspect of their hobby. Many keep lists of bird species seen in Kent

and a significant number of people have now recorded over 300 species in Kent.

This list of Kent birders has been compiled and is maintained by Geoff Burton.

The totals are based upon lists submitted by the individuals themselves and once submitted it is up

to them to inform the list keeper of additions. The rules include:

Only accepted records of BBRC and KOS rarities are countable.

Records of, for example, Greater Flamingo, Ruddy Shelduck, Falcated Duck, Marbled

Teal and Desert Finch are not considered countable for the purposes of these totals.

The taxonomy followed is that used by the British Ornithologists Union Records Committee

Where listers have seen the same number of species precedence is given on the basis of

reaching that total first or if that is not known, on the basis of notifying the list keeper first

If you wish to submit your Kent list for inclusion here, or notify the list keeper of additions to your

list, then email Geoff Burton

Totals based on information received up to 30 September 2015
