Nasty November
Well, November has been very grey and wet, which is why there has been very little activity on my blog of late. I only managed two brief birding forays this month, one to my Brussels patch and another in the Sonian Forest, where I'm pretty sure I found a Hume's or Yellow-browed Warbler, but it disappeared off into the forest before I could get a good look at it. The stream of Siberian Accentors seems to have dried up at a staggering 227 individuals since 4 October and there has also been a considerable influx of Waxwings with a handful of sightings in Brussels, none of which I was able to connect with. Instead, I have been busy working through my Brazil photo's and ocasionally making some unexpected identifications, such as this Purple-washed Euselasia (Euselasia euoras), which had remained unidentified since 2014.
