The Joys of Soignes Forest

This is probably the place where I spend most of my free time! The Soigne Forest is spread over some 4 383 hectares, making it one of the biggest peri-urban forest in Europe.  It's home to an estimated number of 40 species of mammals, 132 species of birds and countless numbers of insects.

​

Each an every walk holds its share of surprise : a roe deer appearing discretely from the bushes,  a common buzzard's call as its flies overhead, a nuthatch and a blue tit surveilling and protecting their territory, a coot or a heron simply looking for food !

Beauty is in every little behavior animals can display, we just have to look for it.
