Résumé :	A first-winter or female Hooded Merganser Lophodytes cucullatus was discovered at Oban Trumisgarry, North Uist, Outer Hebrides, on 23rd October 2000, where it remained until 1st November. The location, arrival date, weather conditions and the bird's behaviour suggested that it could be a transatlantic vagrant, and it was included by BOURC in Category D of the British List. Following subsequent records in Northumberland in March 2002, and Shetland in April-May 2006, together with others from the Azores and Canary Islands, BOURC reviewed the North Uist record as a potential first for Britain and accepted that the evidence was sufficiently persuasive to admit it to Category A of the British List.
