3 today

First between Horncastle and Scrivelsby
12 blackbirds, 1 song thrush, 5 mistle thrush (1 singing)
plus 6 siskin, 1 green woodpecker, 2 goldcrest, 12 grey partridge and a flock of c80 pied wagtails in the field across from the sewage farm.

Second around Wood Enderby
20 blackbirds, 2 mistle thrushes, 16 starling
plus 55 Pinkfeet over nw at 10.15, 18 red legged partridge and 2 grey partridges singing at each other and acting territorial. Also a nice mixed flock of c200 linnet, green finch and chaffinch. No sign of any brambling despite intensive scrutiny.

Third at Spilsby
21 blackbirds, 223 starling.
plus excellent fish and chips at the chippy in the market square

Again no ff and re. By the way, all core surveys have to be done for Thursday evening.

I did my two core Squares today. Weren't very thrush productive but its always nice to get out and visit new places I wouldn't normally go to.

East Ravendale
21 Blackbird
3 Redwing
2 Grey Partidge

Barnoldby-le-Beck
6 Blackbirds
1 Green Woodpecker (my 100th of the year all in Lincs)
1 Kingfisher (101)
1 Buzzard
1 Goldcrest (102)

So a good day for the year list, my reward for doing the surveys I like to think :D

Hi Anthony

Have a look at this link and you can see the results for the whole of Lincs by drilling down into the map. I see your results for Barnoldby le Beck are on there already.

It rounds the survey off nicely to input the data and put something on the LBC forum when you get back in from doing it. A job well done!
