Further to Pete's post, I visited Boultham Park, Lincoln late morning/early afternoon today (Sat) in bright, breezy weather.
The group of Goosanders was at the N end of the lake.....14 incl.3 drakes today. They were not at all flighty, 4 or 5 sitting up on the bank preening unconcernedly at one stage, with a cyclist passing only some 10 yards away. A regular local birder told me that 19 Goosanders had been present earlier in the week.
Also incl.
2 Herons
Cormorant
mobile Egyptian Goose - apparently a recent arrival
Sparrowhawk flew through
Charm of 7 Goldfinches feeding at the top of an Alder.
An attractive lake and parkland/woodland setting, backing on to the River Witham, with some 'good' birds especially considering it appears to be within the Lincoln City boundaries.
Thanks for the Goosander info, Pete.
