Post subject: | Lincoln (Canwick) STW - Sun 11 Sep |
I dropped into the local Sewage Treatment Works again .......No ! I think I'd better rephrase that....I visited them today (Sun) 10.15 - 11.15....further to my first visit a week ago. Birds seen on the N side included : Green Sandpiper - perched on the side of a concrete tank, it was harassed by a Pied Wagtail; - it took flight, circled high and then returned to almost the same spot Grey Wagtail - 2 adults Willowchiff - one feeding around the bushes Buzzard - flew low over the STW (N side), harassed by half a dozen Corvids; crossed the road and immediately another 80 or so took to the sky from that S section of the STW, with at least half of them joining up and pursuing the unfortunate Buzzard ...quite a stunning sight House Martin - a large flock of c.70 circled high overhead before drifting S Swallow - occasional bird flew over. plus Mallard c.20.....Moorhen....Goldfinch.....and Song Thrush (not so common now around Lincoln). All in all, a worthwhile visit. Freddy |
