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.

29th Sep 2024

It's been a generally quiet week. Steve Holliday saw a Pintail (fem/imm) on Tuesday morning that circled the reservoir but flew north.

On Wednesday morning the rain from previous couple of days had forced the river to overflow and the entrance, cattle field and paths around the wood were all flooded. I had at least 103 Meadow Pipits over flying south-east in 1 hour, mostly in small groups (including groups of 32, 15, 20 and 10), and several others around/grounded. there was also 1 Skylark over south-east, at least 22 Pied Wagtails around and a lot of small gulls including 2-3 Common Gulls.

The weekend was fairly quiet and uneventful, but a Mistle Thrush that dropped in for around 5 minutes on Friday afternoon was nice.
