Plateau Engeland is an area south of Brussels that has small woods and open areas, as well as a small stream.
The Engeland Plateau is an area of interest because you can see many species of forest or semi-forest birds; such as the Mugurar, Botgros, Cinteză, Cinteză de iarnă (in winter), Scatiu (in winter too), , Țiclean, Aușel cu cap galben and Aușel sprâncenat, Sturzul viilor, Sturz cântător, Sturz de vâsc ; some woodpecker species such as Ciocănitoare pestriță mare, Ghionoaie verde or Ciocănitoare de stejar; and all the tit species present in Brussels (!): Pițigoi albastru, Pițigoi moțat, Pițigoi mare, Pițigoi codat, Pițigoi de brădet and Pițigoi sur.

Cliquez sur le P sur la carte pour obtenir les directions. Les 2 entrées principales se trouvent sur l'Avenue Dolez et le Chemin du Puits.
The Șorecar comun is seen very frequently, as well as the Ghionoaie verde, the Ciocănitoare pestriță mare, the Pițigoi sur and the Sturz de vâsc (less easy to see this one). In winter the Scatiu is very present on the set and we know to see them often, while the Cinteză de iarnă is more discreet but is still present. In summer we can see the Pitulice mică; occasionally the Pitulice fluierătoare, and the Silvie cu cap negru is heard.
When it comes to birds of prey, the most common are: the Șorecar comun and the Uliu păsărar, while the Vânturel roșu can be seen less frequently (the Uliu porumbar is quite rare but in flight with luck we can see it). Note that in summer it is possible to see the Viespar passing overhead.
Near the western entrance is a small pond where you can see the Rață mare, the Găinușă de baltă, the Stârc cenușiu and even the Pescăraș albastru!

Français: La Șorecar comun s'observe très fréquemment, ainsi que le Ghionoaie verde, le Ciocănitoare pestriță mare la Pițigoi sur et la Sturz de vâsc (moins facile a voir celle là). En hiver le Scatiu est bien présent sur le plateau et on sait en voir souvent, tandis que le Cinteză de iarnă se fait plus discret mais est quand même présent. En été on sait voir le Pitulice mică; occasionellement le Pitulice fluierătoare, et la Silvie cu cap negru se fait entendre.
Quand au rapaces, les plus fréquents sont: la Șorecar comun et l' Uliu păsărar , tandis que on peut voir moins fréquement le Vânturel roșu ( l' Uliu porumbar est assez rare mais en vol avec de la chance on sait le voir). A noter que en été c'est possible de voir passer au dessus de soi la Viespar.
Près de l'entrée ouest un petite mare dans un creux est visible, ou l'on peut voir le Rață mare, la Găinușă de baltă, le Stârc cenușiu et même le Pescăraș albastru !
