1) HotWhat's the issue with late June? Most bird species wouldn't be on the move yet.
2) Breeding season practically over - no singing/displaying/etc.
3) As you said no migration

Even without migration, the variety of birds that you are able to see in the Med is still greater then what is provided in central europe.1) Hot

Yeah but you'll never them here.Don't they live in America, too?
Wouldn't there be tours in the US for the same purpose?Yeah but you'll never them here.
Baiting isn't done in the US and Canada, and in fact I think possibly illegal. I know people occasionally run into them in Alaska, but even then people only rarely do so. For instance, there are certainly no tours targeting themWouldn't there be tours in the US for the same purpose?
Finland also holds a slew of European woodpeckers among other well-represented groups. Last year I had Three-toed Woodpecker (and Great Spot, but I'm fairly sure Mysticete has got that) at The Bear Centre where I saw Wolverine. Fieldfare, Redwing, Spotted Flycatcher also on site and Red Squirrel, Bank Vole, Brown Bear (=Grizzly) and the cosmopolitan Red Fox.Baiting isn't done in the US and Canada, and in fact I think possibly illegal.

To get you a sense of the odds, the average home range of a wolverine is anywhere from 100-600 square miles, and in the lower 48 there are probably something like only 100 animals distributed across the northern Rockies and Pacific NW. I know of people who have lived inin Wolverine territory for decades without a single encounter.
Finland really is a special case, hence why everyone goes there for their Wolverines.
I'll keep it in mind.In case you find yourself lacking the time or energy to travel anywhwere further away from Belgium just have a visit to the Het Zwin Sanctuary near Knokke on the northern coast of Belgium. It won't be much different from the english side of the channel but at least you could spent some hours birding in a nice environment without too much effort put into it.
