Résumé :	The BOU Records Committee has reviewed early British records of Ruddy Shelduck Tadorna ferruginea, including those up to 1892, and post-1950 sightings, in particular those relating to the 1994 influx. None of the pre-1892 records was accepted, but those which occurred in 1892 were considered to justify the species' retention in Category B of the British List. None of the post-1950 records was accepted. The probability that records of this species relate to individuals of feral or captive origin is very high, yet vagrancy remains possible and is perhaps most likely to involve males in their second calendar-year.
