Parc Leopold / Parc du Cinquantenaire - BRUSSELS (1 Viewer)

[Flycatcher 123]

Hello,
I'v previous put a post on for Brussels in general and loved the suggestions but, alas I can't get to any of them.
So, I've put together a thread specifically, for Parc Leopold and Parc du Cinquantenaire.
I'm planning to visit these places in March - would be good to have some ideas of the species I can see.
Any species will be good as going from Scotland, there will be many species not found in Scotland.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can see complete lists of the bird species observed in these two sites at :

Its literally 9 minutes by train from Brussels-Luxembourg station (near Parc Leopold) to Boitsfort, which would give you a little bit more chance of seeing non-Scottish species (although I see both black redstart and short-toed treecreeper are possible in the urban parks...).

Thanks for the suggestion, I will look if I can get to Boitsfort!
