I do have these early reports and the first one for 1949 was published by the Lincolnshire Naturalists' Trust in 1950. As well as birds, the report lists butterfly occurrences and also includes a survey of vegetation. R. Wood Powell was the chairman of the Bird Observatory Committee at the time and Ted Smith was the Hon. Secretary. Other committee members were F. R. Bean, S. A. Cox, P. Lill, Dick Cornwallis and the hon. warden Lenten Ottaway. There is a foreword to the report by the great W. B. Alexander who was the chairman of the Bird Observatories Committee at the BTO.

Hi Roger,
I spent a couple of days in February at Gib. helping to check the data import from paper reports to computer that has nearly been completed. The first report we checked was 1948 - the year I was born!! If you contact Kevin Wilson he will be able to tell you exactly!!
