The 93,3 % of the files analyzed by the CR/SEO came from mainland Spain or the Balearic Islands (Peninsula in the figure above). Despite being locations frequented by foreign visitors, there is still a low number of submissions coming from all areas, but specially islands, and foreign observers as well (figure below) which only submitted a 9,4% of files.

102 species or subspecies were assessed. This number includes those considered rarities for the Canary Islands but not for mainland Spain and the Balearics. The species most frequently submitted were:

• Calidris melanotos (19)
• Tadorna ferruginea (10)
• Larus delawarensis and Anthus richardi (6 each) 
• Anser brachyrhynchus, Cygnus olor and Ficedula albicollis (with 5 submissions each)

The 1998 official report was published in July 2000 and a downloadable pdf (Acrobat) version -without the black & white photos- is available in this website.
