INTRODUCTION

This is the fifth edition of a checklist of the Birds Of South Gloucestershire and

has been prepared reflecting the status of species and forms believed to have

occurred in a naturally wild state within the recording area.

It incorporates all of the changes to the British List up to and including

December 2017 and fully aligns with that of the International Ornithological

Congress (IOC).

The South Gloucestershire Systematic List follows the conventions of The BOU

British List: A Checklist of Birds of Britain (9th edition) December 2017 which

came into effect on January 1st 2018.

THE LIST

The S. Glos List is under continuous revision; species and forms are either added

or removed following rigorous assessment and are updated on the TBOSG

website. Changes to the list are adopted with immediate effect.

NB: All sightings of rare and scarce birds are subject to ratification by the

appropriate rarities committee!

TAXONOMY

In 2017, following a detailed review TBOSG has adopted, from the 1st January

2018, the International Ornithological Union’s (IOU) IOC World Bird List (Gill &

Donsker 2017) for all its taxonomic needs.

This is the first edition of the S. Glos List following the IOC World Bird List. Any

future changes to the IOC list will be adopted unequivocally.

SPECIES/ FORMS NAMES

The S. Glos list will use the English names for species and forms used by the

International Ornithological Union’s (IOU) IOC World Bird List (Gill & Donsker

2017).
