The documentation status for all species in CAPITALS is being sought. As most locations are intermittently surveyed at best, the presence or absence of a bird should not be inferred from the date of the most recent sighting. If a particular bird is believed to have departed, the text will so indicate. LEGEND: Date format dd.mm; 05.07 = 5 July/juillet.
