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.

5th Apr 2026

A steady trickle of early spring migrants again this week but nothing new for the year. 

The number of Sand Martins increased to 40-50 over the weekend, with singles Swallow and House Martin noted through the week. A Willow Warbler was present mid week and Clive confirmed that there's (at least) two Cetti's Warbler territories, with one along the river and one along the canal (there is also at least one still by Lidl).

Friday morning there was a pair of Shoveler present early on and a Bullfinch near the car park (sadly quite a noteworthy bird now). This morning there was a White Wagtail along the western shoreline.
