Cleveland Listing Statistics

[Graeme J]

The Club have decided that the Listing Statistics would sit better within the forum, so here they are. I will try my best to keep them up to date. All totals use current AviList taxonomy and all 'BB Rarities' must be accepted. In addition, the species must be on the official Cleveland List.

If you should be included within any of the lists please contact me privately and let me know.
