The rarest bird I have seen is one of the rarest in the world. A Slender billed Curlew on mainland Greece, near the Albanian border. It was on a wetland which actually lies opposite Corfu.
It has been unofficially recognised by Birdlife International as a valid find. They couldn't officially accept it as I had no back up proof of the find (Photo's, other birders etc) but my description together with a description of its behaviour was enough to satisfy them that I had seen the bird.
