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.

9th Apr 2023: Oystercatcher (and another Kittiwake!)

A much quieter week again this week, especially compared to last week.

Kev saw a late Redwing on Wednesday and Mike had a House Martin with c.150 Sand Martins and a few Swallows.

Thursday morning there was a brief visit from a Yellow Wagtail and another good group of hirudines including 2 House Martins. A bit later John found another Kittiwake, our fourth of the year!

This morning I had a Little Ringed Plover fly over west and possibly the same or another heard again later. An Oystercatcher flew in and landed at the reservoir, then moved to the cattle field and then flew off north after about 25 minutes.
