| Résumé : | Some of the more interesting records submitted to BBRC have been featured in British Birds in the series 'From the Rarities Committee's Files'. Those published so far have tended to deal with identification criteria for difficult species. Occasionally, we receive a submission which not only increases our knowledge of a particular species but also raises fundamental questions about the process of record assessment. The record discussed below is just such an example. While much of the Committee's deliberation concerned the identity of the bird, it also helped to develop our views on the nature of the evidence required for acceptance of a record of a species new to Britain. |
