The Lincolnshire Bird Club

A lap around the Flats yielded the following:

Smew (distant from the main hide)...same bird as the Blacktoft one?
Peregrine Falcon (perched in the dead trees towards the tower hide)
Stonechat
Black Tailed Godwit
Dunlin
Spotted Redshank
Redshank
Lapwing
Tree Creeper
Reed Warbler
Great Tit
Blue Tit
Long Tailed Tit
Teal
Marsh Harrier
Mallard
Greylag Goose
Snipe
Black Headed Gull
Grey Heron
Little Egret
Curlew
Shelduck
Meadow Pipit
Reed Bunting

Also heard Cetti's Warbler in two different locations, but not seen

Also good to catch up with my old mucker from Golden Wonder days, Wayne Gillat.

Reed Warbler is rather unseasonal?

Hi Andy. That may be down to my novice skills, so open to debate. There was one reported in the area on a report from the tower hide and I spent a while listening to it (in front of the tower hide). When I got home I listened to a recording of the reed warbler and it appeared to match what I'd heard. Admittedly the view I had was very fleeting. I'm just into the 2nd year of birding, so I could be mistaken

I remember that in January 2015 there was a confirmed Reed Warbler at Marston SW, of which several of us were able to get photos so there is presidence for early or over-wintering birds.
