Wryneck does not breed in Ireland, where it is a rare vagrant, or Iceland where it is accidental and it now breeds only very rarely in Great Britain. In the 1970s around four pairs in Scotland were thought by many to be the start of a recolonisation, but this did not materialised though a few “secret��? pairs are thought to nest each year.
