Birding Dusseldorf

So far just the usual backyard birds in Dusseldorf: Wood Pigeon, Carrion Crow, Jay, Magpie, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Blackbird, Dunnock, etc. Did see three Yellow-legged Gulls near the Rhine yesterday.

In Belgium, saw Fieldfare at the Battle of the Bulge memorial in Bastogne, as well as a Pheasant on the road, and my first Swallow (Barn Swallow) of the year at St. Anne Chateau. Also Rose-ringed Parakeets at the royal palace in Brussels.

Once I figure out the bus system, should be able to start getting more birds soon.
