Bird Listing.
In many part of the birding world there are lists of birders showing the number of species they have fond in a special area or in a special time. There are year lists, garden lists, county lists, country lists, WP lists, world lists and many more. The scientific value of this can be discussed, but the lists are normally just for fun, for keeping order on ones own records, and for competition among birding friends.
The good things about listing are often an increase in the number of records being reported, especially of species that normally not counts as major rarities, and also a higher degree in visits to new places and new times of the year in purpose to add new species to ones list. Generally it also increases the interest for and knowledge of other species than just the major rarities.
And, as said before, it could add more fun and joy to bird watching as well as increase contacts among a group of birdwatchers.
Ranking, personal lists, and species lists.
Below you will find the ranking, personal lists (click on the name) as well as species lists (who has seen what).
Countable species follow the nomenclature used in Birding Azores bird database, and is only allowed to include common, regular or rare and reported observations included in the database. Subspecies and species of category D-E (escapes or introduced species) are included in the lists but are not added into the number of species.
