A - Species recorded in an apparently natural state at least once since 1 January 1950.

C - Species that, although introduced, now derive from the resulting self-sustaining populations.

C1 - Naturalized introduced species – species that have occurred only as a result of introduction, e.g. Egyptian Goose

C2 - Naturalized established species - species with established populations resulting from introduction by Man, but which also occur in an apparently natural state, e.g. Greylag Goose

C3 - Naturalized re-established species - species with populations successfully re-established by Man in areas of former occurrence, e.g. Red Kite

C4 - Naturalized feral species - domesticated species with populations established in the wild, e.g. Feral Pigeon

E - Species recorded as introductions, human-assisted transportees or escapees from captivity, and whose breeding populations (if any) are thought not to be self-sustaining. Category E species form no part of the British List (unless already included within Categories A, B or C).
