The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Joined by Ed Mackrill for day and Cliff Morrrison for part of day
whilst searching for dusky warbler which was seen, 2 RBFs found , 1 a superb breeding plumage male,
also Cliff called us onto a halimodendri lesser whitethroat again seen very well,
c 12 chiffchaffs, 3 blackcaps, 1 yellow browed , c30 brambling, c40 siskin over, 5 ring ouzels,
far less crests robins and thrushes than of weekend.
( not a bad few days on an overgrown cattle farm i mused)
regards John.

Also a Short eared Owl high mobbed by Jackdaws and after passing a bush full of mobbing tits we later stood in ghe same spot and a Long eared Owl looked back at us. Incredibly easy to overlook in a small leafless hawthorn,

and a pale SE owl came in c 1700 hrs,
then viewed 19 brambling bathing in a large puddle in adjacent farmyard.
also forgot 2 treecreepers seen.
regards John

far fewer birds this morning tho the male RBF showed well,
a female merlin chased a single fieldfare coming in over the foreshore,
and a few tired redwings arrived some dropping on foreshore exhausted.
A yellow browed and 4 chiffchaffs in trees near Saltfleet sewage works this afternoon.
regards John
