Already several records of Griffons in BE & NL, including one at Zwin this morning, being the closest record to the sea in Belgium ever!
Promising vulture/eagle forecast for the second half of this week in BE! Warm SE winds with approaching heat storm. Maybe a tad too late in spring but curious what and where it will deliver. #Griffons incoming

Finished my third #MAS count round this morning, covering 10' obs spots across the area, monitoring agricultural bird species.
I like how it makes me slow down and take in local biodiversity.
Also, the protocol gives you a great impression of the status and oh boy, it's bad. Highlight: treesparrow

Today I came across at least one Blyth's Reed Warbler in the outer port of Zeebrugge. Possibly 2 together, but the other one was less obliging, and for now out of sight uncertain.
