Submit Bird Sighting

We welcome contributions for the Devon Bird Sightings from Devon Birds members and the wider public. If you have something you would like to post on the blog – an unusual bird sighting, for example – please use the form below to submit it.

Please ensure that all sightings that you post follow our posting guidelines

All posts from the public will be checked by a moderator and approved if suitable before appearing. We cannot guarantee to approve all posts and will edit or delete as necessary.

Please think very carefully before posting any information on scarce or rare breeding species. If in any doubt, please check the list.

Please note, submitting a Bird Sighting is a public "news" item and not the same as Recording a sighting, please see the Recording section for more information.
