COUNTY, REGIONAL AND BIRD OBSERVATORY RECORDERS IN BRITAIN AND IRELAND

The main aim of this list is to encourage observers birdwatching away from their home areas to send records to the relevant county recorder. Several counties are divided into areas for recording purposes, but, to save space, and because we believe it is less confusing, the list generally includes only one name against each county or region. The names and addresses of observatory recorders or wardens appear separately at the end. We shall be glad to know of any errors, omissions or changes of address, which will be noted in our monthly 'News and comment' feature.
