From a Yellowbelly living in exile in Northumberland. Can't find a generic Lincolnshire thread so started this one.

Visit to Lincoln over weekend. Nothing unusual. Large female Sprawk flew low level past McDonalds near the Uni at 10:30 am today.

Annual camp on the Showground - normally see a few Yellow Wags there at this time of year - no sign. Loads of Swallows. Nearby stubble attracting lots of Gulls - good numbers of LBB.

I am taking a couple of days holiday in Lincs around Sutton on Sea, would some one be kind enough to let me know the best local spots for birding at this time of year. I shall be around Donna Nook first day and finish towards Gib Point.

Thanks

Gib Point is one of the best places I have ever known for variety and the occasional surprise. It's many years since I went and the Lincs Wildlife Trust has since spent a lot of money on developing wetland habitat.

I suspect that there are still Shorelarks at Greenshanks Creek and Twite on the Samphire. Often good for seawatching.
