2 The available information for Poland makes this country a ‘borderline’ case for listing as a Principal Range State.
It is included here on a provisional and precautionary basis, but further discussion and data are required to clarify
Poland’s exact status.
3 Status unclear; though recorded annually, there is a mixture of birds from the reintroduced population (most
records in western Germany), vagrants from the Western main population and perhaps regular migrants from the
Fennoscandian population in eastern Germany.
