Both authors wish to express their gratitude for the efforts of gentlemen Toy Janssen for the ICT-issues, and Garry Bakker for the numerous factual and textual corrections and some valuable additions. What a team...!

Fine overview. Belgium only had 1 Black-faced Bunting this year as far as I know. (Same remark goes for the WP summary in the Dutch recap "Terugblik")

Hans, thanks for the remarks!
We had the impression there was one more - maybe questionable - field observation and a bird caught at a ringing station, but apparently this information is not correct.
Both Dutch and English versions have been revised...!

@Hans and Wim, I believe there was a record from Filip de Ruwe, of a migrating bird. There were photos but I don't know how conclusive they are (apparently not sufficient to ID it as Bf Bunt). Can't find them anywhere now, but maybe the Belgians know more?

Die staat nu te boek als Dwerggors.

Aha, dank. Ik ben wel benieuwd waar de ID als Dwerggors op is gebaseerd. Ik denk zelf dat deze foto's inconclusief zijn, maar ze zijn wel ietwat suggestief voor Maskergors (wang eerder grijzig dan bruin, grijs in de nek, geen opvallende wenkbrauw).
