4am start this morning to find some Reed Warbler nests along a local section of the river Slea. Found 6, all will be monitored for the @btobirds.bsky.social Nest Record Scheme and hopefully they don't get predated and the chicks will also be ringed @lincsbirding.bsky.social

An amazing few moments with these Lesser Whitethroat this morning, on the patch. One ringed. #ukbirding @lincsbirding.bsky.social

Exciting news from Willow Tree Fen, where two crane chicks emerged from the reeds last week. We've been keeping their arrival quiet over the bank holiday as they are very sensitive to disturbance. If you're visiting, binoculars are recommended and our amazing Crane Watch volunteers are on hand.

Today we join everyone in wishing Sir David Attenborough a happy 100th birthday. The man who brought the world's wildlife into our living rooms has always been a passionate advocate for local species and habitats. In Lincolnshire we enjoyed Sir David's support and presence on many notable occasions.

‘24: failed twice, South Yorks. ‘25: failed twice, Derbys & Scotland. ‘26: 3rd visit to Rimac in 5 days & after 5hrs, I finally see a UK Hoopoe on the deck & photograph it (badly). Thanks @yellowbellyontour.bsky.social for finding it. 👊 Happy 100th David Attenborough. #lincsbirding #ukbirding #birds

A 2nd & 3rd Peregrine chick have hatched over the last 2 days! If you are in the area, why not drop into St. Wulfram’s Church, Grantham, get a cuppa & view them on the TV installed by @alanball101.bsky.social? You can also view online here: www.stwulframs.org.uk/whats-on/per... #lincsbirding
