Belgium (Day 1)

A none birding trip with Sam and Cambridge United for a football tournament in Erperheide, Belgium. An early morning crossing from Dover to Calais produced a small flock of Manx Shearwaters as well as the Gannets, Fulmars, Kittiwakes, and Yellow-legged Gulls.

Best sighting of the day by far though was a Honey Buzzards (that drifted low over the recreation park when we arrived.) Apparently there were two (Marcus Kholer who we were sharing with saw the other) suggesting that they could well be a breeding pair in the surrounding forest.
