One of 2 Short-eared Owls at dusk at Gib Point yesterday. Also 9 Woodcock secreted around the reserve.

A walk in to Gib along the beach was productive today, found the 2 Shorelark and the single Snow Bunting feeding on the tideline but more surprisingly an unseasonal Little Stint feeding with 6 Dunlin in a muddy creek @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

Like Christmas decorations, 22 Corn Buntings have returned to their pre-roost Sycamore in late afternoon sunshine at Gib Point. Always a pleasure to hear their clicking flight calls as they dash over the saltmarsh @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

Stunning male Black Redstart at the Old Coastguard Station at Gib today, so good I had to go back for seconds! Purple Sandpiper on the shore made for a colourful day @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

A testing female Garganey amongst 600 Teal on Tennyson Sands, the latest record for Gib Point. @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social

Despite the October fog on the East Coast at Gib the hoped for migrants failed to appear. Day saved by a secretive Jack Snipe from Harvey's Hide @lincsbirding.bsky.social @lincswildlife.bsky.social
