2009 Sightings Page

The following are largely unchecked and unverified records and should not be regarded as an official record until published in the Norfolk Bird Report. County and UK rarities that require descriptions to be submitted to the relevant rarities committees before formal acceptance are shown in bold text.

Many of the following records are provided by members of the Great Yarmouth Bird Club and local birders but for completeness reports from Rare Bird Alert, BirdGuides, BirdLine East Anglia, Birdnet, FocalPoint and the BirdForum are also included. Some of the reports from the bird information services of less rare species, fly-by seabirds, out of season occurrences or unusally high numbers should be treated with caution and unconfirmed sightings are shown as being 'claimed', 'reported' or 'estimated'. 'Probables' and 'possibles' are not included in the following summaries.
