World Trip Reports

What to list? Which list?

I have just used the Rare Bird Alert list feature and it has given me these results: BOU - 205, UK400 - 207 and All forms - 210.

Which of these is the standard, or accepted by all other listers. I thought i had seen 209 birds from counting up the birds in my collins book but some of these must not be on the official lists.

Also i've only been birding just over two years and don't seriously twitch, just as and when, so how am i doing?

Cheers
Gareth

Dont get drawn into the list conversations on here! The official list is the BOU one. The UK400 is one many prefer cos it makes you look like you have a bigger list. There are pro's and cons with both. Tick what you want. It shouldn't matter a rats arse what anyone else thinks. Use which ever list you want or even better, use BOTH!!
