We no longer receive taxonomic updates or new additions to the UK400 Club list, and the UK400 Club website seems to be permanently offline. Therefore, we are no longer supporting it on BUBO Listing. We recommend listers use BOU instead.

The list of British and Irish birds maintained by the UK400 Club. This list comprises a greater number of species compared to the BOU or Birdwatch lists, both as a result of more liberal 'splitting' in most (but not all) cases, and also due to a more open-minded approach to potentially escaped birds. The UK400 Club 'authority' can be used for lists in Britain & Ireland or smaller units (i.e. countries and counties) of this area.

The list is regularly updated on the UK400 Club website. The latest published update incorporated into BUBO Listing is that provided by Lee Evans at the end of September 2009. The main changes in this list over the previous version are the inclusion of Yelkouan Shearwater Puffinus yelkouan and Tufted Puffin Lunda cirrhata, and the removal of Masked Booby Sula dactylatra.

Species currently considered as comprising the UK400 List for BUBO Listing purposes are shown below.

First select authority to copy existing species from, then type species name, or enter a new species directly.
Species name is defaulted from the previous species row and should of course be overwritten!
Genus is defaulted from the previous species row but may need overwriting; specific needs to be entered in either case.

NB: Species name for the old taxon should be updated to differentiate it from the split taxa using a '/' or '[group]', e.g. Species A/Species B or Species A [group].
NB: Scientific name should also be updated similarly, e.g. Genus specific A/specific B or Genus specific A [group]
NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.
NB: Species name for the old taxon should be updated to differentiate it from the split taxa using '[lumped]', e.g. Species A [lumped].
NB: Scientific should also be updated, using '[lumped]' or brackets for the old specific name, e.g. Genus specific [lumped] or Genus [specific] subspecific.
NB: Notes only allow up to 255 characters, but there is no enforcement of this. Anything longer will be truncated without warning.
