Résumé :	This report documents the status of 100 species of rare or scarce birds that were recorded breeding, or showed signs of breeding, in the UK in 2015. The year was notable for the addition of a new breeding species for the UK: Iberian Chiffchaff Phylloscopus ibericus. Several species, including three raptors, reached their highest population levels in recent years and the recent run of mild winters has probably contributed to large increases in numbers of Firecrests Regulus ignicapilla and Cetti's Cettia cetti and Dartford Warblers Sylvia undata. For the first time we present long-term population trends for most of our regular breeding species. The species showing the greatest increase is Little Egret Egretta garzetta, while that showing the greatest decline is Golden Oriole Oriolus oriolus.
