Autumn migration through Belgium
Autumn migration is an annual phenomenon where millions of birds travel from their breeding grounds to warmer wintering areas. Belgium, and specifically the Brussels region, lies on an important migratory route. The passage of the Red Kite underscores the importance of such locations for biodiversity and wildlife observation in the urban environment of the Belgian capital.
The specific date for the Red Kite's flight over Brussels is described by Bruzz as „next week”, referring to the week following October 9, 2026. This period is when the natural cycle of autumn migration is in full swing, offering a unique opportunity for observation in the Brussels region.
