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.

11th May 2015: Fledged Long-tailed Tits

A lunch time visit today with John resulted in very few birds of particular note, the best being two Little Ringed Plovers and a flyover Yellow Wagtail. It was really nice to see a family of recently fledged Long-tailed Tits along the river though.

In the wood where it was a bit more sheltered there were Red-tailed Bumblebee workers feeding on the Garlic Mustard flowers. Whilst watching them I noticed a long-horned micromoth too. I believe it is Meadow Longhorn Adela rufimitrella. This area by the railway line where there is a large nettlebed is full of invertebrates at the moment and really worth a look.
