Not much to report in the way of unusuals....

Beach / Shore

Black-headed Gulls
Greater Black-backed Gulls
Herring Gulls
2 Cormorant
Brent Geese
Few Greylag
Curlew from rough grassland just inshore
Yellowhammers, 2 Dunnocks & Stonechats in bushes
Large flock of Goldfinches flew through adjacent to bushes

Tennyson's

Mute Swan
3 Common Gull
Lapwing
Bar-tailed Godwit
Avocet
Redshank
Moorhen
Coot
Mallard
Shelduck
Shoveler
Teal
Tufted Duck
Little Grebe
4 Pheasants scrapping on nearby field

Mere Hide

Very little - just 2 Little Grebes, 1 Moorhen and lots of Mallard

Lots of Jackdaws and Magpies

No time to go into Jackson's Hide, as we (myself and parents) wanted to get a drink and a quick bite to eat in the cafe before it shut.

Yellow-browed warbler still around. Firecrest, Redwing, Sandwich Tern & Redpoll reported too. Why do I always miss the lifers, even with a telescope?

Longer visit planned some time before I head to Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham for a hysterectomy operation. Operation date is 12th November.

28 members of the Lincoln RSPB Group were also on a trip to Gibraltar Point today. With that number of extra pairs of eyes we were able to add to your list
incl:
Grey Plover
Little Egret
Black-tailed Godwit
Little Stint
Gannet
Sandwich Terns 3 fishing offshore
Water Rail
Pochard
Swallow
House Martin
Kestrel
Mistle Thrush

Don't worry too much about missing those lifers - Yellow-browed Warbler, Firecrest, Redwing and Redpoll. As far as I know, none of our 28 members connected with them either!

Regards,

Freddy
