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.

10th Apr 2021: Redstart

A Yellow Wagtail was seen by Kirsty mid morning and through the day various observers noted a minimum of three birds. An obvious arrival of wagtails included our first White Wagtail of the year spotted by Ian and at least two present.

At lunch time Mark found a Redstart at the northern end of the reservoir, being very elusive in the brambles and sometimes perching on the fence separating the reservoir from the meadow and woodland. The Redstart drew the attention of several people and JFT confirmed there were two birds on site, with the second bird mostly observed in the scrub along the western side of the reservoir.
