Martha's walk in the Bois de la Cambre on 18th March 2011

Martha took six of us for a nice 2 hour walk from the parking lot in the Bois de la Cambre on a cool, overcast day. It didn't rain until we left the cafe!
We saw a large turtle on a log in the pond near Chalet Robinson and anemones in bloom. We walked into the Foret de Soignes and returned into the Bois to discover two lovely red-necked grebes on their nest with 5 eggs in the water. (Thanks, Lydia, for identifying the birds). Too bad Martha's photos of them did not turn out.
We tried a new place for refreshments and were happily surprised to meet Paulette. The Cafe de la Pressehas a "living room" setting where we enjoyed our hot drinks and sampled cupcakes.
Thank you Martha for your text and photos.
