Résumé :	A Long-billed Murrelet Brachyromphus perdix was discovered at Dawlish Warren, Devon, on 7th November 2006. Initially misidentified as a Little Auk Alle alle, its true identity was established when photographs of the bird were posted on the internet. It was relocated at nearby Dawlish on 11th November, where it remained until 14th. This represents the first record of Long-billed Murrelet for Britain and the second for the Western Palearctic, following the discovery of a dead bird on Lake Zurich, Switzerland, in December 1997. Subsequently, another individual was discovered, in Romania in December 2006. The identification, distribution and taxonomy of this species are reviewed.
