Yesterday Dave Roberts and me, embarked on a mammoth dawn until dusk adventure to see how many species we could record in a day in Lincs. We visited several sites and certainly worked hard for what we got; failing to get any seabirds on the list despite some seawatching. We ended up on 95 species + White Wagtails, from 7 sites.
Funnily enough it is the same number of species as Richard Doan’s awesome list, which he recorded at just Gib alone, in a single day last Friday!!
All in all an absolutely epic day, we will be going for more next time!
