Hi everyone
I am just posting to let you all know that the latest batch of decisions from the EBRC, mainly for records from May to late October 2020, have been published online in the last few days. They are available for viewing at https://www.uaebirding.com/ebrc (scroll down to table). We are very grateful to everyone who took the time in to fill in an RBR and I would also like to express thanks to all EBRC voters who spent a long time poring over some rather complicated records. In addition, we consulted widely on several records in the current batch and had help and feedback from nearly ten individuals, and I am grateful to all of those as well.
We have currently being enjoying a terrific run of rarities and, if you have been lucky enough to find one, please don't wait until the next circulation is imminent to document your record. Records needing a RBR to be added to the official record at listed at the top of this page - https://www.uaebirding.com/recent-news. If you were lucky enough to find anything noted here, please complete an RBR (available at https://www.uaebirding.com/report ) and get it sent in. RBRs need take only a few minutes to fill in if good photographs are available but we are equally happy to receive ones without images, although, obviously, good field notes will become even more important then. See the examples at the above link if you need advice on how to complete an RBR and feel free to get in touch if you have any queries.
Many thanks!
Oscar
