Résumé :	For this fifth annual report, covering 1999, information on accepted records of scarce migrants was supplied by County and Regional Bird Recorders, sometimes in advance of publication in their local bird reports. The year 1999 was, by and large, a disappointing one, especially for passerine migrants. It was, however, an excellent year for Nearctic ducks, with record totals of Green-winged Teals Anas carolinensis and Surf Scoters Melanitta perspicillata, and good numbers of Ring-necked Ducks Aythya collaris. Red-necked Phalaropes Phalaropus lobatus were also reported in record numbers. Others which fared well included Cory's Shearwater Calonectris diomedea, Purple Heron Ardea purpurea and Pectoral Sandpiper Calidris melanotos, all of which reached their second-highest annual totals ever, while European Bee-eaters Merops apiaster, Short-toed Larks Calandrella brachydactyla and Common Cranes Grus grus were recorded in above-average numbers. Conversely, it was the poorest year on record for Tawny Pipits Anthus campestris, while other species in short supply included Kentish Plover Charadrius alexandrinus, Hoopoe Upupa epops, Wryneck Jynx torquilla, Bluethroat Luscinia svecica, Melodious Warbler Hippolais polyglotta, Red-breasted Flycatcher Ficedula parva and Red-backed Shrike Lanius collurio.
