Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sangahyando" data-source="post: 3404339" data-attributes="member: 114046">I do count Category C birds, but with an entry on a separate list indicating that they're just that, category C. Same for reintroductions (haven't consciously seen any yet, though). I also count vagrants, but only if their identity and provenance are ascertained by other, more experienced folks (e.g. district recorders or whatever they're called over here). And my British List is rather short and contains a lot of question marks...Have to say though, ticking native or self-introduced species feels more "real" and authentic.</blockquote>
