Stone Curlew - by Nick William's

On 6th Sept 2010 I was alerted by a tractor driver rolling a field in Dunsby Fen to a strange looking bird. I hopped on board and saw a Stone Curlew walking in front of the tractor. Refound it later with Nick Williams who got a reasonable photo despite the rain and darkness. No sign of it on 7th Sept 2010 despite diligent scanning but 200 Lapwings, 1 Golden Plover and a Peregrine over the same field.

All images on the Wildlife Album are taken in Lincolnshire, for further information on Lincolnshire Birds, see http://www.lincsbirdclub.co.uk . The terms of the Wildlife and Countryside Act must be observed and licences obtained to photograph Schedule 1 species from the appropriate Statutory Nature Conservation Agency.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
