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.

30th Mar 2018: Sand Martin

John: This week has seen some very wet weather, however as yet, this hasn't dragged down too much in the way of migrants. Chiffchaffs in particular seem very thin on the ground at the moment

Still, I did manage to clap eyes on a group of 3 Sand Martin on Tuesday. They didn't hang around for long at all, as they headed off up into the clouds and away to the north.




There's been quite a lot of Peregrine activity this week and most days I've seen 1, sometimes 2 drifting about. On Tuesday, the pair drifted relatively low, NE over the reservoir, with the female carrying a half eaten Feral Pigeon!




On Saturday, during a brief visit 4 Greylag Geese circled the reservoir and a Muntjac showed amazingly well by the entrance gate, feeding along the river.
