The British List

The list of bird species recorded in Britain

The latest list includes all species - 628 as at 14 June 2022 - recorded in a wild, or apparently wild, state in Britain, as recognised by the British Ornithologists' Union (BOU). 

Their list is divided into six categories: A, B, C, D, E and F. The ABC category shows the species that have self-sustaining populations in Britain which may be either native to Britain or have been introduced to it or have colonised it.

Species in category D may belong to ABC but it can't be proven yet, while category E is a list of escaped birds and category F are fossilised species.

  • The Irish Rare Birds Committee maintains a separate list for species occurring in Ireland.
  • The IOC maintains its own list for birds across the globe.

BTO supports the taxonomic listing recommended by the British Ornithologists’ Union (BOU) in its British List and use it in our work. We also use that list to create a bird species table of our own to help people access key parts of the British List and our own BirdFacts data.

PLEASE NOTE: The table below is based on the BOU's 9th edition of the British List published in 2020.

  • We are currently working on producing an updated table using the 2022 data.

In addition to the common and scientific names, the table indicates its status in Britain and BTO 2 letter and 5 letter codes. Population size is given for the breeding season (unless this is small, or the species only occurs in winter, in which case the winter or, where appropriate, passage population is given). All estimates are per year, except those where the total number of Records (since 1950) is indicated.

Clicking on the species name will take you through to the relevant BirdFacts species page for more information on the species.
