Résumé :	Although Short-billed Dowitcher Limnodromus griseus had previously been on the British List, the species was removed by the BOURC in 1992. A better understanding of dowitcher identification criteria became established in the 1980s, and it was apparent that all previous British records were either Long-billed Dowitchers L. scolopaceus or lacked sufficient detail to separate the two species convincingly. Consequently, the discovery of a long-staying and well-watched juvenile Short-billed Dowitcher at Rosehearty, Northeast Scotland, on 11th September 1999, resulted in the species being re-admitted to the British List.
