UK Scarcities

Its not just the rarities that can give you buzz when out birding the scarcities and more common species can also do this. This page is dedicated to some of the best scarcities seen in recent years, be it an annual scarce drift migrant such as a Barred Warbler to a locally stunning couple of Dotterel. These are some of my best images of these.
