Appreciating that listing is to some degree down to the individual, I just wondered if there is detailed record information available about species on the BOU list which are noted as AE? Is there further information available on which occurences are counted as A by the BOU? I was particularly interested in the record of the Baikal Teal at Minsmere as I noticed BOU have Baikal as AE - so which records are the A ones?
Also I noticed that Canvasback is down as A only, does that mean all records are presumed to be wild birds? The same with Bufflehead.
Just interested but am sure this will open a whole can of views and opinons
