All over again!

Those seen outside of Belgium are in italics

Birds with hyperlinks will lead to pictures on a website called waarnemingen.be, a Belgian website on which one can share their observations. The advantage is that this has the ability to show several pictures in one hyperlink. All pictures have been taken by me in the wild. Some are ok, some are bad, some are pretty good.

Great bustard! Yeaah!
