Résumé :
|
Records of Nearctic vagrant landbirds in Britain and Ireland during the decade 1987-96 are summarised and discussed, and also compared with those in previous decades. Their association with autumnal atmospheric conditions across the North Atlantic is described, and year-to-year fluctuations considered. There was a steady decrease in the number of annual records in the early years of the decade, reaching a minimum in the years 1992-94. These fluctuations were thought to have been brought about by a combination of meteorological patterns and population changes.
