Résumé :	This report presents data on the non-passerine scarce migrants recorded in Britain during 2013. It was a record year for no fewer than three species in this section of the report: White-billed Diver Gavia adamsii (42 birds), Great White Egret Ardea alba (184) and Glossy Ibis Plegadis fakinellus (161). For all three, it continued a pattern of generally high numbers in the last decade or so, and the same can be said for several other species that fared well this year, but particularly American Golden Plover Pluvialis dominica (second-best year on record) and Pectoral Sandpiper Calidris melanotos (fourth best). At the opposite end of the spectrum, there were just single-figure numbers of six species: American Wigeon Anas americana, Ferruginous Duck Aythya nyroca, Wilson's Storm-petrel Oceanites oceanicus, Kentish Plover Anarhynchus alexandrinus, White-winged Black Tern Chlidonias leucopterus and Red-footed Falcon Falco vespertinus.
