Welcome to the Website of the Nottinghamshire Birdwatchers
This page will be updated on a daily basis, to provide a convenient news service to scarce & rare birds found within the County Nottinghamshire.
The Sightings page and @Nottsbirders Twitter feed are intended to alert birders to scarcer species that they might be interested in seeing within the County.
Records of more common species are still very important, but should preferably be submitted to the county Recorder Keith Rainford Bullfinch194@gmail.com These records will then be added to the Nottinghamshire Birdwatchers data-base, to be included in the monthly Newsletter and Annual Reports.
None of these reports have been verified or checked by the Nottinghamshire Birdwatchers' Records Committee.
Please report your Latest Sightings to: nottsbirders@gmail.com or @NottsBirders on the Twitter feed.
Please remember to submit all sightings to Keith Rainford Bullfinch194@gmail.com each month, using the Excel spreadsheet that can be downloaded from the Recording page.

Species shown in bold Purple on this page are BBRC rarities or species recorded on less than ten occasions in the county. Bold Blue are rare and scarce county birds recorded less than annually that require a description or supporting details for the society’s archive. A full list of these species can be found on the Recording page. Red are species of interest. Bold GREY are unconfirmed sightings or a species of unknown origin.
During this period of lockdown restrictions for Corvid-19, it has been decided to once again revert back to weekly updates to discourage social gatherings.
