As you've probably guessed from the lack of posts of late, I've not done much birding this month. Last week, though, I did a short walk in the Sonian Forest, where there were huge numbers of Chaffinches feeding among the leaf litter, accompanied by a few Bramblings, their northern cousins. Towards the end of the walk, I also got to watch three Crested Tits, a rather uncommon and localised species within Brussels, one of which even sat still long enough for a photo! Starting this weekend, my traditional, online advent calendar will be showcasing some of the pictures I took during my seventh season of guiding in the Amazon so you can expect a daily image to brighten up the dreary days of December.
