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.

4th May 2025: Ringed Plover

This week the more notable records seemed to mostly involve waders, coinciding with a lot recorded migrating through the country generally.

On Tuesday Steve H had 2-3 Common Sandpipers and on Thursday I had 11 (of which 10 flew off north together just before 7am), and today there was 2 again. Also on Thursday, I had 2 (a pair of) Mandarin Ducks on the river.

On Friday John Beak saw our first Lapwing of the year, and today we had a Ringed Plover that appeared to come in with a Little Ringed Plover. The latter birds stayed less than 10 mins before flying west.
