Species no longer considered by the RBBP

These species were formerly on our list but have been removed usually because their UK breeding populations now exceed our upper limit for inclusion (generally, a 5-year mean of over 2,000 pairs) or because studies have shown their populations to exceed these limits. Changes to our list are documented in our annual reports as and when they occur.
