Résumé :	In the summer of 2012, at least six, and perhaps as many as II, Baillon's Crakes Porzana pusilla were heard singing in apparently suitable breeding habitat at a minimum of three locations in Britain. In this article, we describe the events that led to the finding of these birds, and discuss whether breeding Baillon's Crakes might have been overlooked in Britain in recent times. We also describe how and where to search for Baillon's Crakes. In future, Baillon's Crakes recorded in Britain in spring and summer should be viewed as potential rare breeding birds rather than vagrants, and treated accordingly with regard to the use of tape-luring, other disturbance and confidentiality.
