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.

26th Jul 2026: Redstart

Common Redstart was seen on Friday by Clive Payne, which is new for the year. He only saw it briefly twice before it moved into the hedge not to be seen again. 

Otherwise still quite quiet in the summer doldrums.

12th Jul 2026

Another quiet couple of weeks. There has been the occasional Little Ringed Plover and Common Sandpiper passing through. At least one Kingfisher is back and being seen or heard regularly again and the numbers of gulls is building back up post nesting.
