Autumn colours

Following on from last week's Song Thrushes, there is now a big wave of Chaffinches, with no less than 152,000 counted passing The Hague on Saturday.  I tried my own little migration count at my regular patch on the edge of Brussels this morning but the weather wasn't really conducive to big numbers.  Apart from double-figures of both Song Thrushes and Chaffinches, I only managed to identify one Reed Bunting, four Siskins and a distant Sparrowhawk.  There are still a lot of Firecrests and Chiffchaffs in the bushes, however, and, after spotting this tiny Wood Mouse crossing the path, I managed to get a nice, autumnal shot of it surrounded by fallen leaves.
