NP). 2000, 19th November: Soldier’s Point, Holyhead (British Birds 98 p679).  A bird present from the 16th - 21st November was subsequently identified by a leading authority and initially printed as having been accepted by the BBRC as a Hume's Warbler only to be subsequently deemed as not proven. The WBRC noted in its 2005 report that 'The individual at Soldiers Point, Anglesey in November 2000, although printed in last year’s BBRC report, still is awaiting acceptance and therefore cannot be added to the Welsh total'. (S&RBiW2005 p25).  In the BBRC's report on rare birds in 2008 it notes '2000 Anglesey Soldier’s Point, Holyhead, 19th November, photo, previously erroneously published as accepted (Brit. Birds 98: 679) while further information was sought, now considered not proven'. (British Birds 102 p584).
