Please add a sighting on this website or email the information to us on sightings@cumbriabirdclub.org.uk. If you email us, let us know if it is OK to publish the information on this website. We may contact you to ask about the sighting on the given email address.

Note: submitting a sighting this way does not make it an official record; please report it in BirdTrack or on a sightings spreadsheet.

By submitting a sighting you agree to share the submitted information with Cumbria Bird Club volunteers. If you agree and the record is suitable in our opinion, eg valid and not a rarity, we will publish it in the Sightings list on this website. Your name and other sighting details will be published, but your email will not be published. Information in the private box will not be published.

Up to three photos may be attached to a sighting, which will be shown if the post is published. By submitting photos you (or the copyright holder) give us permission to publish them.
