The London recording area, as defined by the London Natural History Society, is 20 miles in every direction centred on St. Paul's Cathedral in Inner London.
The bird list for this area currently stands at 360 species but a third-summer, colour-ringed, Glaucous-winged Gull at Beddington SF (previously seen in Gloucestershire and Wales) on 18th April 2007 is pending acceptance as a county, and national, first.
For the definitive list of birds recorded in the London Area and London's premier county listers (those that have seen 200 or more species) visit the London Birders Wiki website (see links).
The aim of this group is to provide a forum for London based birders (or transient visitors) to post sightings, exchange the latest bird/site news, request information, or just engage in general on-topic chat. Though primarily bird-orientated, occasional posts relating to other London wildlife are welcomed.
The group moderators reserve the right to delete posts regarding sensitive breeding species etc. First posts from new members are moderated to avoid spamming.
Good Birding,
Chris Langsdon.
