I had a good walk around this morning. Despite the beautiful conditions, there wasn't a lot around. There were Chiffchaffs singing in a lot of places, I lost count but it was easily over ten singing birds. I saw the Marsh Tit in the wood but couldn't locate the Willow Tit. It seemed a good day for raptors and at one point I had nine Buzzards over the reservoir.
Into the valley I had a look at the Long-tailed Tit nest Colin and Steve found last week. Two birds were busy back and fourth, apparently still furnishing the interior. The Little Egret was along the river and there were four Greylag Geese at the Borrow Pit pool.

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.
