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
 
Garganey i would recommend Frampton and Frieston without a doubt also Hutoft pit is good ,get in touch with the south lincs and linc birding clubs for any latest bird news both have websites which are informative

Many thanks, will try to see the Laps and Shorelarks at Donna Nook while my pals admire the seals.

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.
 
How do! I've seen on the lincs birders site that there are 3 cettis warblers at far ings, does anyone know the best areas where theres a chance of spotting them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Andy - any news on this bird still being present?
 
South Ferriby Rough Leg

We went on 27th arriving approx 11.30 and parked near the cement works. The driving snow kept us in the car until we found a common Buzzard which encouraged us out scanning. I picked up the RL and it showed well for the duration of our visit.

We went on to Far Ings which was frozen - only Sprawk and a busy bird table. Then returned to the layby where the RL was still present.
Then went to Worlaby Carr - one SEO , 4 Common Buzzard and Kestrel.

Strange that Lincs news seems so hard to get??!

All the best for the New Year!

Good but distant views of the RLB today - 13.20 for an hour. Using the fence line to hunt around 400m from the road - best viewed looking back from the second lay by. Also saw three Marsh Harriers, possible Merlin, Goldeneye and at least 12 Fallow deer on the island - including one fine Buck.
