I should think most of us have seen the odd rarity or two, but I was looking through my old notebooks the other evening and was reminded of one occasion in 1982 when there was a Pallas' Warbler and a Scarlet Tanager in the same bush on St.Mary's, Isles of Scilly. I can't think of any other time when two birds from opposite ends of the globe have been in the same binocular vision!!
Can any other BF-ers remember similar occurrences?
Sooty Shearwater and Arctic Tern are regularly seen together on Seawatches off Flamborough Head etc...

And therefore regularly occur in the same area......and Arctic Tern and Sooty Shearwaters aren't classed as 'rarities' in the British Isles......I figured as this forum was 'Your Rarities' that it would have been self explanatory that I was talking about 'rarities'....
