A walk yesterday around the Wolds, Dalby in the north, Toynton All Saints in the south, produced this unremarkable list – in order of appearance: Between Partney Bridge and Hundleby – green woodpecker x 1, blackcap x 1, several reed buntings and yellowhammers. Keal Carr – chiffchaffs, reed buntings (several) East Keal – pair of common buzzards Toynton all Saints – green woodpecker x 1, common buzzard x1 Spilsby – flock of +/- 50 linnet in field south of the town, common buzzard x1 Partney – swallow x 2 on wires by the school Skendelby Thorpe – vocal mistle thrush, goose with questionable parentage on the lakes Dalby – pair of c. buzzards over the woods, pair gt. crested grebe on the lake Langton (Church Carr) – bullfinch.
Plenty of usual garden birds, plus singing chiffchaffs and green woodpeckers heard at all locations, but sadly no tree sparrows or corn buntings.
