    I'm not that high at all, actually. ;) (Haven't really been trying, either. I'll be in S France half of May and most of June, anyway, so would not be very likely to break any record this year.) For a real high score (not a BirdForum member), see this : March 2nd: And I finally arrive in Empordà

    Spent an extended weekend in the High Fens, with a couple of species more typical of E Belgium -- including Black Grouse, Crane, Great Grey Shrike, Eurasian Treecreeper, etc. You had actually seen Grey Wagtail on 1 Jan, though, Jan Hein. ;) (White Wagtail is also twice in your list, as well...

    Brussels birdwatchers here have a tradition of making two "Christmas bird counts", as Americans do, a usage that was 'imported' many decades ago by Pierre Devillers who had been studying in N America. I.e., we count birds within a circle of 16 km (= 10 miles) radius, once on the coast around...

    I won't pretend my body isn't aching now ;). It's more muscular (thighs and shoulders) than articular (knees), though. My knees look like they can endure some real ill-treatments -- I guess I'm lucky about this. A poor record shot, from a long time ago now : Rotskruiper - Tichodroma muraria :)...

    Thanks (y). I added what I saw yesterday and the day before to the joint European list myself (135 now). Also, Egyptian Goose is unquestionably cat. C in Belgium, so I updated its status to this -- making it 5 Cs. I think it's C in Germany too, however, so I let Xenospiza's 1 Jan record stand...

    I saw a young Little Gull flying NW over the shore that day. Besides this, nothing, really. Then that Blue Rock Thrush... ;) On Saturday the weather was expected to be better, so I set up early and cycled back to Brussels, following an inland route which is (a tad) shorter than what I usually...

    Cycled around the western half of the Belgian coast yesterday, with the two Ross's Geese and two Great Northern Divers as best species. Still on the coast now, with the weather back to 'terrible' here (60 km/h wind + constant rain), so I'm not very likely to cycle long distances eastwards...

    Thanks, Dan. Both yesterday and today were very windy here (and today was also quite wet), so basically just a bit of seawatch and the beach, so far. I'll see if more can be done tomorrow.
