Help with selecting County

To determine the county that you should use, please select the links below to view the possible options available for BirdTrack. Maps are available for each region to help you choose the correct choice of county. These choices are based on the current government county and unitary authorities defined in 1998 (local authority districts are not represented). Further information on the partition of the UK into county, unitary and local district authorities can be found on the Government National Statistics web-site (here).

We have had to choose a single set of boundaries for administrative purposes. We are aware that these boundaries do not always correspond to areas used for bird reports and other biological recording and we apologise to those who would have preferred us to use different ones. However, we would like to emphasise that our main use of these boundaries is to check grid references for serious errors. Most data will be stored at a 1 km square resolution and we will be able to extract data and present results using alternative boundaries relevant to particular bird recording areas where necessary.




England has been further split into the nine Regional Development Agency regions, which are used within the BirdTrack project.
