The last couple of weeks has seen spring migration rumble into action. Chiffchaffs have gradually repopulated wooded areas. I've had up to 8 at Grimsbury Res in recent days and probably at least 7 singing at Boddington Res back on Saturday (28/03), despite the cloudy and blustery conditions!
I've been giving Grimsbury Reservoir in Banbury a bit of battering most days, either before work or on my lunch break. Amazingly yet another adult Kittiwake, (the second of the month) made an appearance on Tuesday (24/03), found by Gareth Blockley.
I also had my first and only Sand Martin to date, on 19/03. Other decent birds for the site have included a unexpected Mandarin, a pair of Teal, flyover Peregrine, a Coot (a site rarity!), Lesser Redpoll & a White Wagtail.
