UPPER CASE (BLOCK CAPITALS): SBRC would prefer to receive all records.
Lower case: These should normally be dealt with locally if a local records committee exists, but should be submitted to SBRC if there is no local committee.
The Scottish Bird Report will only include records of the above species if they have been accepted by either SBRC or a local records committee. Assessment of a record can only take place by a committee, if a full written description is provided by the observer. This should be submitted by the observer to the Local Recorder.
* A dispensation has been granted to the Local Recorders in Shetland & Orkney that records of species marked with this symbol can be accepted at their discretion without full written descriptions. A similar dispensation has been granted to the Argyll Local Recorder in respect of Balearic Shearwater.
† A dispensation has been granted to the Local Recorders in Shetland & Orkney that records of species marked with this symbol can be adjudicated locally.
Changes to the list from the previous 2004-2006 list (see below) are:
- the inclusion of a number of recently delegated BBRC species
Records of the 'Caspian' race of Herring Gull cachinnans, are now being examined by BBRC, but it is understood this practice may soon end. It is our intention for this to become an upper case (block capitals) taxon on our list if it is no longer examined by BBRC.
All 'new' pre-1950 records of species appearing on the BBRC List, require to be accepted by SBRC.
In addition to the above, all records of subspecies recorded in Scotland on twenty or fewer occasions, should be examined by either BBRC or SBRC.

* Records of these subspecies are examined by BBRC. Records of all others should be submitted to SBRC.
All potential new taxa for the Scottish List require to be accepted by either BBRC (and BOURC if new for Britain) or SBRC. The Secretary of SBRC can advise Local Recorders/observers of the correct procedure for each particular taxon involved.
