The following is a list of all records currently being assessed by the BRC. This is a "work in progress" list and is for guidance only. The BRC publishes its adjudication decisions in periodical reports available on the BOC and NDOC websites and in the Birds of Berkshire Annual Reports. Once a record is published in the annual report it is removed from this list. If you have any information regarding records marked "NDR" (no description received) please read the submission guidelines and send any documentation to records@berksoc.org.uk.
