Résumé :	A Red-rumped Swallow Cecropis daurica was found and photographed on Sanday, Orkney, late in the evening of 9th June 2011. What proved to be the same individual was seen at Talisker Bay, Skye, Highland, on 17th and 29th June 2011. Photographs taken on the latter date established that it belonged to one of the Asian races of Red-rumped Swallow and that the same individual was involved on both islands. The record was accepted by BOURC and BBRC as being the first 'Asian Red-rumped Swallow' to be recorded in Britain, either C. d. daurica or C. d. japonica. The identification, distribution, taxonomy and other European records of Asian Red-rumped Swallow are discussed.
