Résumé :	On the island of Gokceada (in Greek, Imbros) in the North Aegean, now belonging to Turkey, a Black-headed Bunting roost with a total of at least 820 individuals was discovered on 9 May 2011. The buntings spent the night in two large wild apple trees in an extensive area of meadows and arable fields close to the coast (Fig. 1). Both apple trees had a dense mesh of fine branches and twigs, offering a great choice of roost perches (Fig. 2). The smaller branches in particular were occupied by the buntings. The temporal course of arrival and departure at and from the roost is described. Occupation of the roost occurred in the final phase of peak immigration to the Gokceada breeding areas.
