Fabulous afternoon walk along the Frampton side of the Witham towards the river mouth, but fairly quiet bird-wise. Totals as follows : Brent 2000+ feeding on the salt marsh opposite the Hobhole outfall Little Egret 12 Spoonbill 1 imm, flew in from N and disappeared towards the reserve Hen Harrier 1 ringtail Sparrowhawk 1 Peregrine 1 Knot c.5000 other side of the Welland No sign of the Gt Grey Shrike though, prey value of the area seems low so surprised it stayed as long as it did.

Sounds like the shrike has gone then. Apparently the Spoonbill had been seen earlier at Freiston Shore, then afterwards heading across the Frampton saltmarsh towards Kirton Marsh. Also at Frampton RSPB today; Scaup - female European White-fronted Goose - 17 Barnacle Goose - 8 Pink-footed Goose - 32 Dark-bellied Brent Goose - 1200 Wigeon - 1000 Whooper Swan - 10 Ruff - 2 Spotted Redshank - 1 Peregrine - 1 Hen Harrier - 2 (male and ringtail) Marsh Harrier - 1 Lapland Bunting - 2 Corn Bunting - 1 singing!
