Résumé :	This paper summarises the records of Palearctic Iandbird migrants in Seychelles up to the end of 2014. Despite their relatively tiny land area and remote location in the western Indian Ocean, the islands receive a wide range of migrant species from a vast source area. Some species occur every year, and their breeding and wintering distribution suggests that they regularly undertake sea crossings of thousands of kilometres through this sector of the Indian Ocean, at least in autumn. Some of the less frequent species are more likely to be wind drifted. Visitors to Seychelles are invited to submit their bird records, to help to improve our understanding of migration in the region.
