* A dispensation has been granted to the Local Recorders in Shetland and Orkney that records of species marked with an asterisk (*) can be accepted at their discretion without full written descriptions. A similar dispensation has been granted to the Argyll Local Recorder in respect of Mediterranean Shearwater.

UPPER CASE: 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 following 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 to the Local Recorder.
