  • Are globally threatened or are not recovering from historical decline

  • Are placed on the red list of Birds of Conservation Concern

Species of birds on the amber list:

  • Have declined by 25 – 50% in the last 25 years

  • Are recovering / recovered from historical decline

  • A rare breeder in the UK or of either European or International importance
