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.

13th Apr 2020: Osprey

The early morning rain filled me with optimism to get out early and see if anything had dropped in. There was a Common Sandpiper and two Swallows and a Sand Martin flew through, but otherwise it was fairly quiet to start with.

Up at the Borrow Pit there was 8 Swallows and a Sand Martin hawking over the water. Back at the reservoir there was more Swallows (about a dozen) hawking over and a Yellow Wagtail dropped in before I left.

Early this afternoon Adrian Tysoe was very lucky to find an Osprey perched in a dead tree in the UCV before it flew north. Also, later in the afternoon Diane Bratt had House Martins at the reservoir.
