Résumé :	A Black-throated Thrush was photographed in a garden in Tilly (Brabant wallon), on 25 March, 2006. This exceptional observation is the fifth for Belgium and the third for Wallonia. The last observation of a Black-throated Thrush in Belgium was in Wilkrijk in October 1936. The bird seen in Tilly was probably a first-winter male. Most of the birds seen in Western Europe are juveniles during the autumn migration. Adults are primarily observed in winter or in spring. Autumn observations will usually be juveniles following a poor migration route, whereas winter observation would be birds coming after a cold wave struck their wintering area.
