Following the adult yesterday, Steve had a juvenile Med Gull on the pontoon at 11:40 with 315 Black-headed Gulls. Juveniles are very infrequent here. It, and the other gulls, did not stay though and by the evening there were very few gulls at all. Possibly due to being disturbed.
Other than that, John had a Willow Warbler in sub-song and a couple of Swifts over at lunch time. It won't be long before the Swifts have left all together for another year.

This is no Farmoor, Otmoor or Port Meadow. This is Grimsbury. It's Grim up north!

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.
