This morning Adrian was lucky enough to record a White Stork flying NE over the reservoir! The origin of this bird will forever be unknown but it is very likely to be one of the introduced birds from the Knepp Estate, especially as one has been recorded in south Oxon recently too. However, a great bird to see locally!
Sandra was also out earlier and had our first Common Whitethroat of the year up in the valley near the Borrow Pit pool.
This evening Colin had found a Sedge Warbler singing along the river, just before the woodland, and I had a single Swallow over briefly.
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.
