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.

18th Apr 2021: Green Sandpiper

Being out early this morning Adrian T was rewarded with a Green Sandpiper at the reservoir. An unusual species to have actually grounded here and other sightings in the past have been flyovers or up the valley, but there has been birds nearby on 'pools' by the M40 junction so could have been one of the those birds. 

Unfortunately it was not present by the time I got there and a Common Sandpiper was the consolation prize, but otherwise generally quiet. The Marsh Tit was singing in the wood, a Sedge Warbler at the Borrow Pit pool and Mike C had a Yellow Wagtail at the reservoir.
