Many species of North America n landbird have been recorded in Great Britain as Vagrants . Most occur in autumn; southwest England attracts the greatest proportion, but northern and western Scotland comes a close second. Occasionally birds overwinter, and some species (e.g. Baltimore Oriole ) are more prone to this than others. Vagrancy also occurs in spring, and some species (e.g. White-throated Sparrow and Dark-eyed Junco ) do in fact have more records at this time than in autumn. Weather systems are thought to be the primary reason for the occurrence of birds in autumn; some birds seen in spring may simply be Overshoot s, although ship-assistance may also play a part.
