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.

31 Oct 2019 - Brambling

Not many highlights for the end of the month, but it's been nice to have more waterbirds around than usual.

Steve went on the 25th and had six Great Crested Grebes, 262 Canada and one Greylag Goose, 94 Mallard, a female Wigeon, five Mute Swan, 39 Cormorants and two Coot.

On the 27th the number of Great Crested Grebes had increased to eight.

There was a good movement of birds on the morning of the 29th I had a Brambling go over north-west and about 120 Fieldfare.

The morning of the 30th there was also a lot of general movement but no big numbers. There was at least 11 Siskin over south, 11 Lapwing west and a Mistle Thrush in the trees along the river. Mike also had a pair of Stonechat up at the Borrow Pit.

On the 31st Mike had three Coot (!) and a 3CY Yellow-legged Gull.
