Résumé :	A water colour painting from the 'Gothaer Vogelbuch' [The bird book of Gotha] of a Pine Grosbeak pair from some time between 1603 and 1662, or even earlier, is dealt with here. The birds were captured on a fowling ground near Ossla (Wurzbach) in the Thuringen shale hills [Schiefergebirgel. This is one of the first representations of Pine Grosbeak and is the earliest surviving record of the species in Central Europe. The ten records of Pine Grosbeak in Thuringen accepted to date are critically examined. Of them, four (from the years 1820, before 1853, 1885, and 1975) can be recognized as genuine records, while three (from around 1900, 1931, and 1956) appear open to question, and the credibility of a further three (from 1977 to 1979) should be re-examined.
