This is no Farmoor, Otmoor or Port Meadow. This is Grimsbury. It's Grim up north!

There is a running total year list in the link above.

Please send in your bird sightings to the B.O.S. and/or to me directly for inclusion on the blog. If you have some photos you would like to contribute please let me know (contact via the comments box on the right if you do not have my email already). Thank you.

01st Feb 2017: Pintail

Steve had a really good visit today with a lot of variety. The highlight and a patch rarity, was two drake Pintail in the flooded field in the Upper Cherwell Valley. They were with a pair of Wigeon and twelve Teal. A Green Sandpiper flying along the river was also a good new bird for the year. Other birds of note were 56 Lapwing that circled over the Borrow Pit pool and four Goosanders (three drakes) at the reservoir.

It's rare to see such variety here these days!
