Scottish List species and subspecies recorded in Scotland
Revised Scottish List as it appeared in Scottish Birds 22:33-49 (June 2001) plus amendments in 2000 Scottish Bird Report (published January 2003), 2001 Scottish Bird Report (published July 2004), Scottish Birds 27: 1-14 (June 2007) and Scottish Birds 29: 3-15 (June 2009).
Introduction
SOC Council has delegated to The Scottish Birds Records Committee (SBRC) responsibility for maintaining the Scottish List and SBRC has appointed a subcommittee to carry out this function.
The Scottish List was last published in full in 2001 (Clugston et al 2001), since when there have been 4 sets of amendments (Forrester 2003, 2004, 2007, 2009). A full explanation of the procedure for maintaining the list is given in Scottish Birds 22: 33-35.
The Scottish List provided both a foundation and a structure for The Birds of Scotland (Forrester et al 2007), published by the SOC in December 2007.
In recent years there has been an increase in taxonomic activity, reflected in a period of instability. SBRC therefore established several principles for the original version of the Scottish List, which are still followed. The British Ornithologists' Union (BOU) has maintained the official British List since 1883 and SBRC decided at the outset (1993) to follow its taxonomy, sequence and scientific names for the Scottish List. It was subsequently also agreed to use English names as they appear on the British List. Identical categories to BOU are used and in no instance is a species or subspecies placed in a higher category on the Scottish List than it appears on the British List.
One of the advantages in basing the Scottish List on that used by BOU is that it is compiled in a consistent and scientific manner. A consequence of this approach is that conservation agencies can use the list, safe in the knowledge that a rigorous process was undertaken during its compilation. This may be especially important in advising on legal issues where status of an individual bird may be discussed in court. In 1998, BOU introduced a revised categorisation (British Birds 91:2-11), following consultations with the government's Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC). The JNCC has adopted the British List for decisions concerning the status of birds in Britain in relation to the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. The changes included a new category (Category E) for escapes and a redefining of the existing categories (A-D). We adopted the new categories in our 2000 Report (Scottish Birds 21: 1-5). Further small changes to the definitions of Categories C and D occurred in 2002.
The British Ornithologists' Union Records Committee (BOURC) announced in its 35th Report (BOU 2007) that the BOU would adopt the standardized English names recommended by the International Ornithological Congress (IOC) in Birds of the World: Recommended English Names (Gill & Wright 2006) and subsequent updates (see the IOC World Bird List), with the following provisions:
- In respect of the British List and publications relating to the List, the BOU will always use both the vernacular English name familiar to British birdwatchers alongside the Gill & Wright standard (international-use) English name.
- Following existing BOU policy, for all BOU publications, the BOU will differ from Gill & Wright in not using a capital letter for a name following a hyphen, eg the BOU will use Hawk-owl and not Hawk-Owl.
In the past the same English name has often been used in different countries for different bird species, but perhaps more frequently different names have been used for the same species. The aim of the IOC has been to try to remove this confusion by standardizing the use of English names throughout the world. Use of English names has continually evolved over recent decades, and many would say that changes have been too frequent, so it is to be hoped that we may now enter a period of stability.
The Sixth report of BOURC's taxonomic subcommittee (Sangster et al 2010) assessed the taxonomic sequence of passerines, resulting in significant changes to the order of species on the Scottish List. The sequence of passerines on the Scottish List (including those species that are currently part of the Scottish List but which reside in Category D) is as follows:
| Oscines | ||||

| Cettiidae (Cettia) | ||||

| Turdinea (Zoothera, Catharus, Turdus) | ||||
| Muscicapinae (Muscicapa, Erithacus, Luscinia, Tarsiger, Phoenicurus, Saxicola, Oenanthe, Monticola, Ficedula) | ||||
| Passeroidea | ||||
| Prunellidae (Prunella) | ||||
| Passeridae (Passer) | ||||
| Motacillidae (Motacilla, Anthus) | ||||
| Fringillidae (Fringilla, Serinus, Carduelis, Loxia, Bucanetes, Carpodacus, Pinicola, Pyrrhula, Coccothraustes, Hesperiphona) | ||||
| Emberizidae | ||||

| Parulini (Mniotilta, Vermivora, Dendroica, Setophaga, Seiurus, Geothlypis, Wilsonia) | ||||
BOU has not given English names to subspecies, but if a subspecies has an established English name this is shown for guidance only, and should not be taken as an official English name.
The Scottish List Recording Area follows the EU Fishery Limits as they apply to Scotland, which extend to 200 nautical miles (370 km) from the baseline surrounding Scotland's coast and its outlying islands, or the median line between Scotland and neighbouring countries, whichever is the nearest.
The Scottish List as it appears on the SOC website is for information purposes only and is not an official document, or part of the permanent record. Any announcements of changes to the Scottish List do not come into effect until published in Scottish Birds, under the authorship of the Scottish Birds Records Committee.
Categories
- A Species which have been recorded in an apparently natural state at least once since 1 January 1950.
- B Species which were recorded in an apparently natural state at least once up to 31 December 1949, but have not been recorded subsequently.
- C Species that although introduced now derive from the resulting self-sustaining populations. Category C has been further subdivided to differentiate between various groups of naturalised species (C1 naturalised introduction. C2 naturalised establishments. C3 naturalised re-establishments. C4 Naturalised feral species. C5 vagrant naturalised species. C6 former naturalised species.) These sub-divisions have not yet been used for the Scottish List.
- D Species that would otherwise appear in Category A except that there is reasonable doubt that they have ever occurred in a natural state. Category D species do not form any part of the species totals and are not regarded as members of the Scottish List.
- E Species that have been recorded as introductions, 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 Scottish List.
Notes
Abbreviated codes are provided for status of each subspecies on the list. We have followed the codes used by BOU in The Status of Birds in Britain and Ireland 1971, which they also used in Checklist of Birds of Britain and Ireland 6th edition published in 1992. We are aware that BOU revised the use of status codes in the 7th edition (Dudley et al 2006), which we have yet to adopt.
- RB Resident breeder
- MB Migrant breeder
- IB Introduced breeder
- CB Casual breeder
- FB Former breeder
- WV Winter visitor
- PV Passage visitor
- SV Scarce visitor
Where species are monotypic (ie BOU do not recognise any subspecies), nothing is shown in the subspecies column. If a subspecies has an established English name, this is shown. Species appearing in Category D, all of which have occurred in Scotland on less than an annual basis, are tabulated separately, following the main list, without any further details on subspecies or status.
Subspecies appearing in bold are endemic to Scotland.
