Résumé :	A Chestnut-eared Bunting Emberiza fucata was discovered on Fair Isle, Shetland, on 15th October 2004. It remained on the island until 20th October and during its stay it was seen by approximately 120 birders. In the hand it was identified as a first-winter, possibly a male, of the nominate form, which breeds in northeast Asia to the east of Lake Baikal. Its arrival coincided with that of two other vagrants from the Eastern Palearctic, a Rufous-tailed Robin Luscinia sibilans on Fair Isle on 23rd October, and an Eastern Crowned Warbler Phylloscopus coronatus in Finland, also on 23rd October. This represents the first record of Chestnut-eared Bunting for Britain and the Western Palearctic.
