Abstract

The numbers of American Wigeons Anas americana recorded in Britain and Ireland have increased significantly since the establishment of BBRC in 1958, and records ceased to be considered by the Committee from 1st January 2002. The status and distribution of the species is analysed here, and its identification discussed. Although male American Wigeon in breeding plumage is very distinctive, the identification of other plumages is much more problematic.
