Even with a cold, brisk southerly wind blowing, this regular walk along the 'Woodhall Spa Trail' west of Horncastle gives steady numbers of birds.
Not so many species this afternoon but highlights were :-

Lesser Redpoll 3
Greenfinch 1
Fieldfares 40+
Lapwing 107 On pasture field the other side of the canal.
Kestrel 1 Flew low and fast between the trees across the path in front of us.
Buzzard 1 Low over small wood nearby.
