BAIKAL TEAL- To tick or not to tick?

The main bird of interest in Yorkshire at the moment is the drake Baikal Teal which has visited several sights in East Yorkshire and is currently at Tophill Low. Despite the fact that the last Baikal Teal in the county (another drake in East Yorkshire in May 2019) was controversially placed into Category D by the BBRC (and thus deemed not countable for the purpose of the Yorkshire Lister's League) we are happy to allow Yorkshire Listers to include this latest bird on their tally although should it suffer the same fate with BBRC as the 2019 bird then ultimately it would have to be removed. Until then, go and see it, enjoy it, stick it on your list and let us know!
