Does a Black Brant count as a lifer in its own right, separate from a Brent Goose? |

No Katherine it isn't a separate species from Brent Goose it is different race. |

I take your point Graham and knowing how these things change (splitting/lumping) on a regular basis I double checked with the BOU official list before replying. This poses the question which list should we use, that of the BOU or those decided by magazine editors and which authority decides the species that reside on the UK 400 list? I couldn't locate the list used by LBC for Lincolnshire species but I assume it follows that of the BOU. |
