Syrrhaptes paradoxus – Iâr Diffeithwch Pallas – Vagrant
Matthew (1984) noted one Pallas’s Sandgrouse shot at Haverfordwest on 8 February 1864, one shot in Pembrokeshire in the spring of 1870, and another shot at Ambleston on 28 May 1888. This latter record was during a year when there was an invasion of Pallas’s Sandgrouse, and they were widespread in Britain.

Note – BBRC review considers the 1870 record no longer acceptable.
