Unfortunately many
sightings of rare birds on Madeira, featured in trip reports or distributed
via mailing lists, are not reported to the Portuguese Rarities Committee.
Details of rarities should be submitted as soon after the tour as possible.
In the full species list (which will be published here later) you will
find those species that require a full written report or those that are
in interest of the local recorder, SPEA-Madeira.
The Rarity report is published in the new journal 'Anuario
Ornitologico' (Annual Bird Report), which also comprises a section on
general bird news from Portugal, Madeira and Azores. It can be ordered
from SPEA Store: loja@spea.pt
SPEA (Portuguese
Society for the Study of Birds) is the BirdLife partner in Portugal.

Uncommon birds,
high numbers of migrating seabirds
The Madeiran section

The useful mailinglist
"Noticiario SPEA"
Do you know that SPEA has a free e-mail service with ornithological news
from Portugal (including Madeira + Azores)? The service is called "Noticiario
SPEA" and is sent out to subscribers (at no cost) once a week, more
or less. If you wish to subscribe, just send a message to noticiario@spea.pt
with the word "subscrever" on the subject line. This very same
address can be used to send in any records (including rarities and all
sorts of oddities or just interesting stuff, such as uncommon migrants,
etc.). The service is in Portuguese, but we think that the relevant information
can be easily understood even if you don't read Portuguese.
