Numbers in brackets indicate pulli – i.e. chicks/nestlings – ringed in 2007 (in fact, the only chicks ringed during the year were Manx Shearwaters). These have been incorporated in the species totals for 1947–2007. However, as the annual numbers of pulli ringed are not known for some past years, sub-totals separating pulli from fully grown birds cannot be given.

* = species not previously ringed on Lundy
