Description

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.

26th Mar 2017

Another lovely morning. Quiet bird wise, but great for butterflies. I saw at least four Small Tortoiseshells and two Brimstones.

I had a look for a Mallard nest Jim told me about, it took me a moment to actually spot it! In the wood the Willow Tit was very vocal and even sang for a little bit. A pheasant flew up from the brambles near the ditch and sat in a tree for a bit. I wonder if it may be nesting in there.

This evening Reg had two Little Ringed Plovers at the reservoir. The first ones for a couple of days so it's difficult to know if these are the same or new birds.
