What this is — and isn’t
Anyone can log what they see on iNaturalist; we only show research-grade records the community has confirmed, each with a photo and an open licence we're allowed to display.
The pile-ups you read about — a crowd gathering for one rare bird — spread through birding alert networks we don't replicate. The groups above are how Leeds birders hear first.
Checked 11 July at 1:49. Only research-grade records — those a second iNaturalist user has confirmed the identification of — are shown. Observations and photos from iNaturalist, shown under the Creative Commons licences each contributor chose.
