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.

18th Oct 2026

Another Rock Pipit was found on Monday afternoon by Drew Lyness, who was visiting Banbury to give a talk to the B.O.S., and it was still present Tuesday morning. 

This morning there was a nice variety of birds moving through but not the numbers I anticipated and nothing particularly out of the ordinary:

Redwing - 84 in small groups, biggest flock of 22
Fieldfare - 4
Chaffinch - 8
Song Thrush - 5
Lapwing - 19
Siskin - 1

As well as that there was a Stonechat (different to last week's bird), a Chiffchaff, Kingfisher, 13 Tufted Ducks at the reservoir and a Redpoll up the valley.
