I've somehow managed to not see any White-fronted Geese yet this winter! Holding out for a Lesser.😀

Swaying Siskin. #birds

And remember: Frieston, not Freiston. Here's my ditty, i before e unless you're near the sea.😀 #lincsbirding #ukbirding #placenames #birdguides

The flood has filled up nicely at Frieston heath, should be good for waders passage again. 3 Pinkfeet and 7 Barnacle Geese today. #lincsbirding

Always a good count of Redshanks wintering in the Woodhall Spa area, 88 on the north lake at the airfield today. #lincsbirding

And another 3.

2 Tundra Bean Geese. Woodhall airfield. #lincsbirders #lincswildlife

I havn't Moth-trapped yet this year but have been seeing this Pale-brindled Beauty for over a week on the bus shelter. #teammoth

Things that are gone now...🤔

I like looking to see if there's anything I went for on these daily roundups. 2 today!

Lovely Thrush noise. #ukbirding

Witham mouth was a tough cookie this morning. Gave it a good 4 hours though. Kittiwake 5 Little Gull 2 Red-breasted Merg. 8 Eider 1 Guillemot 2 Great-crested Grebe 1 Usual abundance of shore waders. #lincsbirding

White-capped Woodpigeon and McDonald's diet Crow on the morning dog walk. #birds

Felt raw at Kilvington lakes, never got above 2°, couple of early returning Oystercatchers, 3 Pintails, overwintering Redshank still, Stonechat and 2 smart 1stwinter GBBacked Gulls. #ukbirding

Mainly local birding for January. Firecrest, LTDuck, Brent Goose and Hen Harriers were the stars. Yearlist. 119 Lincs. 118 10miles. 98 Marston. 68 #lincsbirding

First moth of the year. Agonopterix alstromeriana flying around in my car when I turned the heater on. #Teammoth

Well done Hannah, well done Scotland. Now come on England!

Marsh Harrier. Willowtree Fen. #lincsbirding

Gt. Egret. Belvoir lakes.

Branston, Leics. 14 Ravens, 8 Buzzards, 10+ Red Kites, swapping between feeding on the deck and perching in this tree. 2 Gt. White Egrets, Belvoir lakes. #ukbirding

Catkins.

Great Grey Shrike at Fillingham, Lincs right now. It was reported as singing this morning, but I wasn't prepared for hovering 🩶 Speechless! @lincsbirding.bsky.social #LowCarbonBirding #UKBirding

Another damp, dull, dreary, dank, depressing, dark, dismal, dreich, dim, dire, dreadful, dour day in Grantham but the Firecrest kept the sad syndrome at bay.😀 #lincsbirding

Actually, I'm not sure it is staining?, this one was in the exact same puddle at Cut End three years ago. #lincsbirding

Little Egret, with stains.

Snow Buntings. R Witham haven. #lincsbirding

Classic.

Early start at the Witham mouth, sea very quiet but saw a Slavonian Grebe. Lots of waders. 4 Snow Buntings just upriver, 2 Cattle Egrets at the prison. #lincsbirding

Snow Bunting. Witham mouth. #lincsbirding

What a little performer the Grantham Firecrest is. Allows close approach (with care and stealth). Traffic thundering by just feet away. Occasional skirmishes with Goldcrests. #lincsbirding

Home town birding. Peregrine on St. Wulframs, L Egret on the river, Firecrest still at Belton lane. #lowcarbonbirding #lincsbirding

Nice write up on a great very local lifer! www.lincsonline.co.uk/grantham/new...

Monday motivation, checked on the local goodies! Long-tailed Duck at Kilvington-appsars to have moved on, last noted 14th. Brent Goose, appears to have moved on from Marston area. Intensive search for Firecrest at Belton eventually gave one individual. 📷 selfie by @lincssnapper.bsky.social

Another in-depth study and photographic account from GPC. Really good read.

WeBS count this morning at Marston stw. #lincsbirding @webs-gsmp.bsky.social

The hide logbook is always entertaining at Woodhall Airfield. The Boxing day entry raised an eyebrow! No name against the Ring-billed Gull which I don't think was reported elsewhere. #lincsbirding #ukbirding

The local small wood walk today to look for Nuthatch & Treecreeper proved to be a great idea with a Firecrest (lifer for me!) being seen, will be going back to see if still about. @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social @birdguides.bsky.social #Birds #UKBirding #Lincsbirds #Lincsbirding

Brent Goose Sunday, Pinkfoot today, surely Whitefront or Beanie soon. Gt. White Egret today also. #Marstonstw #lincsbirding

The thought of a mass twitch in Quebec, Canada where a European Robin has turned up made me appreciate this little beaut on the patch today. I mean, imagine laying eyes on it for the first time. #ukbirding

@applewildlife.bsky.social #birdhybrids

Short-eared Owl in Lincolnshire. #ukbirding

Absolutely superb read here by living legend Graham! Such an inspiration.

Daily checks of the local Goose flocks finally paid off, not with the expected brown Geese but a cracking 1stwinter Brent Goose lurking with the 'lags (rare inland). Marston stw. #lincsbirding #ukbirding #lowcarbonbirding

Dipped on the Snow Goose around Deeping lakes, saw Long-eared Owls, Whoopers and Bewick's Swans, Green Sandpiper etc. #lincsbirding

R.Witham, Grantham.

Long-tailed Duck still at Kilvington lakes, also a Redshank. #nottsbirding

Had the cam in for 24hrs at Marston stw. 164 clips, (100+ featured Rats!) #Lincsbirding
