New Patchlist Competition for 2024[]
A slight change for this year - rather than listing entries by the highest year list which gives patches like Rainham an obvious advantage, we're asking people to record their year list total as a percentage of all species ever recorded on eBird for their patch [eBird Hotspots]. This is to encourage more entries from smaller sites.
It isn't necessary to record your year list on eBird - we're just using these site totals as they're easily accessible. Also note that the site totals may be different to any locally kept figures. If anyone has any difficulties finding your site total or has other questions please use the Talk page.
