Sunday 1 October 1989
Genk, Belgium, 01/10/1989
Mild, overcast.
Heathland area with large areas converted to farmland. Lakes in area were extensively reeded but lack of signposts ended up in a disappointing day there: Carrion Crow, Magpie, Starling, Woodpigeon, Stock Dove, Jay were very abundant with a pair of Buzzard seen quartering this area highly populated with rabbits.
Also seen were Mistle Thrush, Coot, Pheasant, Meadow Pipit and Collared Dove and the highlight was a Green Woodpecker.
13 species.
