Decisions on UAE Rare Bird Reports received

The EBRC would like to thank all observers who have submitted Rare Bird Reports for the time and effort they have taken to do so.

For an explanation of the decision-making process, see this link.

We are initially working through all records from 2005 until today. Any observer wishing to check a verdict on an RBR from prior to 2005 should email Nick Moran or Tommy Pedersen.

An observation will be classified as one of either:

- Accepted. Placed in Category A.
- Accepted (D). Escape not ruled out. Placed in Category D.
- Accepted (E). Definite escape. Placed in Category E.
- Accepted (H). Hybrid or probable hybrid origin.
- Not accepted. Insufficient evidence for acceptance.

Species in blue have received a Rare Bird Report, but no verdict yet from the EBRC.

Previous reports:

- 2010 onwards

- 2003 up to and including 2009
