It’s pleasing to have ended 2024 with two burgeoning issues of BB, with last month’s RBBP report and this month’s BBRC report both almost completely filling their respective issues. The text in this issue’s BBRC report is considerably more extensive than anything we’ve published before. Much of this is down to the sterling efforts of the Committee, who have worked tirelessly to ensure that records from previous years that might have slipped through the net are included, and that dates, locations and observers for previously published records are correct. The BBRC report is, after all, the definitive record of rare birds in Britain and, going forward, we hope that such corrections and amendments to past records will be much fewer and farther between.
