Hi Gearge,i would say these are Barnacles,by the white face and black breast band.There seems to be a glut of records in Linc's at the moment and these may be wild birds,but as previously mentioned in the sightings section of the forum,they may have originated from a large feral population in the north of the county at Whitton Sand on the Humber.

Thanks for that stephen, makes a change from the vast skeins of pinkfeet that have gone over this autumn.

With all the Barnacles seen in Lincolnshire this month, some MUST be wild birds....

There were 500 on Whitton Sand in November and none now so add up all the flocks and if they exceed 500 then those are the wild ones!

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.
