(The usual list below has been temporarily suspended)

Updated as soon as reports are collated, usually fortnightly, the following list is intended to provide a flavour of recent ornithological happenings in the county, rather than a comprehensive up-to-the-minute rare bird news service. The records included here have yet to be assessed by the KOS Rarity Panel. A list of species requiring descriptions is available on this web site and can also be found in the back of the Kent Bird Report.
