John started the morning with three Common Sandpipers and four Swifts.
Ian was out in the afternoon and just after a heavy rain storm at about 3pm, a 1st year SHAG flew through from the south. This is a huge rarity for the BOS area and I believe it is the first record for Grimsbury Reservoir. Well done Ian!
Birding and wildlife blog for Grimsbury Reservoir, Grimsbury Woodland Nature Reserve and the Upper Cherwell Valley, north Oxfordshire.
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.
