Résumé :	On 5th May 2011, a Bimaculated Lark Melanocorypha bimaculata was discovered in the canton of Ticino, southern Switzerland. This was the first record for Switzerland and only the second for central Europe. Despite the proximity of its breeding grounds in Turkey and the Middle East, the Bimaculated Lark is still an extremely rare vagrant in Europe, with just 22 records from nine countries. We describe the Swiss record and discuss the species' status as a vagrant in Europe, its occurrence patterns and status in captivity.
