The Lincolnshire Bird Club

A juvenile Stonechat turned up here on the Garthorpe side of the Trent on 12th June and is still here today. Even though I've never found any nesting here, they've done this midsummer appearance previously when breeding numbers were better, but since the cold of December 2010 (and accentuated by February 2012) numbers have been low and there seem to have been few reports of confirmed breeding in Lincolnshire since then. I don't know where this bird was bred but doubt it came far as it's very young.
