Over the long weekend a few people managed to get out and get started on the Grimsbury 2022 list. Unfortunately, the Red-crested Pochards decided not to hang around.
On Saturday it was steady going with mostly the usual species around, but a group of 10 Ravens over West and a flock of 16 Lapwings over the UCV were good birds to get early on. In the afternoon Mark Ribbons also added Peregrine to the year list.
On Sunday there was little change, but Clive did see two groups of Lapwings over the UCV - totalling c.250 birds.
This morning John and I had a good stomp around. Before I got there John had seen 2 Great Black-backed Gulls over the reservoir and a Lesser Redpoll in with the Siskins. The main interest was again in the 'snipe field' where we had 4 Common Snipe, 2 Jack Snipe, a Woodcock, 2 Stonechat and a Peregrine over.
