Rare Breeding Birds Panel

The Rare Breeding Birds Panel (RBBP) was established in 1972 to encourage and support the recording and reporting of rare breeding birds in the UK. We collate breeding data on all species with fewer than 2,000 breeding pairs in the UK in order to report annually on their numbers, trends and distribution, and maintain a secure archive to support conservation and research for these species. We also collate data on rare non-native breeding species. Find out more at www.rbbp.org.uk
