Baikal Teal, Kilnsea Wetlands, May 2019 - John Hewitt

As with many wildfowl there is heated discussion as to the origins of this bird. Given that it is fully-winged, un-ringed and currently conforming to behaviour one would expect from a wild bird we are happy to deem it countable for the Yorkshire Birders Listers League for the time being, although of course the BBRC will have the last word on it.

Collared Flycatcher, Easington. May 2019 - Rich Willison

Other than in the case of adult males the identification of Collared Flycatcher is fraught with difficulty. Although no DNA was collected from this bird it was multi-observed and also well photographed. Many of the photographs have already been circulated and the current thinking is that it is indeed a Collared Flycatcher. Obviously to allow as countable in the Yorkshire Birders Listers League the bird will need to be ratified by the BBRC but for the time being we are happy to allow people to add it to their tally.
