"Lincolnshire" birds did well in the 2013 The Carl Zeiss Awards published in BB this month...
Fifth - Black-eared Wheatear @ Frampton by Paul Sullivan
First - Thayer's Gull @ Elsham by Tom Lowes
The Carl Zeiss Award, was introduced in the December 1991 issue of British Birds, where it was announced that ‘Carl Zeiss, sponsor of the Rarities Committee, is offering an annual prize of Carl Zeiss 10×40 B/GAT Dialyt or 7×42 B/GAT binoculars to the photographer who supplies the most helpful, interesting and instructive photograph of a rarity, taken in Britain. The photograph (a colour print, black-and-white photograph or transparency) must have been submitted in the usual ways…. The winning photograph may be big, bright, sharp and beautiful, or be small, dull, fuzzy and admired only by the committee, but it will have added to ornithological knowledge of the species’ identification, ageing or sexing criteria.’
Not sure what this say's about rare birds in Lincs......
