Lincs Bird Club 2015 Report

I am pleased to report the LBC 2015 report is at the printers and should be with members in the next month.

The report includes details of the Squacco Heron at Kirkby Pits - the second county record. Red-footed Falcon at Willow Tree Fen, plus the extremely rare juvenile Red-footed Falcon at the Gibraltar Point NNR - probably the first time one of this age has been seen in Lincolnshire.

A pair of Black-winged Stilts were at RSPB Frampton Marsh in May, followed by a White-rumped Sandpiper and Broad-billed Sandpiper. Also at Frampton, a superb adult White-winged Black Tern graced the reserve!

There are over 100 colour photographs and over 60 charts. Also, includes the following articles;
