Ost Belgie

I never new the east end of Belgium was such a wild place.

Quiet pine forest, overgrown river flood plains, all sorts of birds of prey (including what looked like an eagle owl) and lots of red squirrels.

After fighting my way through head-high nettles I was finally rewarded with this pretty little perch and some rather larger chub, the first of either that I have caught in a couple of years.
