How well do you know birds?

This is a total guess, but:
1. Purple Sandpiper
2. Desert Wheatear
3. Parakeet Auklet
 
After a quick scan of Wikipedia’s species list, I am going to try Cliff Swallow and Grey-headed Lapwing
ciffs swallow does have one record in swede wich was sean geting taken by a sparow hawk
thre is only one record of the lapwing in europe but the same idvidual was sean in norway befor being found here
 
i give two ints one of them is a north american passegin but it is not a warbler or videro
and the other is a central asian song bird that is normerly not a long rage migrant
 
I’ll set one tomorrow morning. Any details about the 2 species I named, as I only know they are on the Swedish list?
 
As far as I know, there are at least 3 species which were not recorded alive during the whole of the twentieth century, but have been rediscovered in the 21st. Name any of them.
 
Jerdon's Courser and Forest Owlet?

As for the new question: Which two vagrant bird species were first recorded breeding in New Zealand in 2015?
Hint: One of them is Australian, and the other occurs on multiple continents.
 
the sparrow was found in south of sweden in december 2016 and gave twicher god wivs
the plain leaf warbler is one of the extreme vagrants ever as it is not a long distans migrant at al and the closet other record i think is from isralel. it was ringing in oktober 1991 on the east cost prity close to me. i now of two birders who workt at that ringin station that year but both whare gone for just that that day to go get supies one the main land
 
Carl, the warbler lives down to its name, being my least memorable tick from the UAE.
Cassidy, the courser was rediscovered in 1986 and the owlet in 1997. As for your question, pure guesses, Maned Duck and Osprey?
 
In that case, I have no other guesses. I think that one of the answers is a species of Acrocephalus warbler, but I can't think of an ID beyond that.

One of your answers to my question is correct.
 
Aah! I had forgotten Large-billed ReedWarbler, so there are actually at least 4 missing for the whole of the century. As for my guesses, I withdraw Osprey and substitute Barn Owl
