Hi John,

Could you possibly give the location of Frampton, either by grid reference or local towns?

Thanks

Hi Birdman,

Grid reference for Frampton Marsh RSPB is:- TF 366384.
Boston is the nearest town and Frampton marsh lies
approx 3 miles SE. From Boston take A16 to Kirton, left at Kirton to Frampton Village, past Moores Arms public house, carry straight on to Frampton marsh some signposts are shown, end up at sea wall. Incidentally the reserve manager informed me that these numbers were seen at high water this morning.

Much appreciated John,

Things are a bit frantic for one reason or another, but I'll try and see if I can fit a visit in over the weekend.

Was with "eagle eyes" John and about fourteen or so other birdwatchers on Saturday morning at Freiston shore. He spots and identifies anything long before any one else does. The Osprey was out to sea flying south but we all had good view through 'scopes.
