This bird is moulting its primaries. Which suggests it's not breeding. The moult is sequential, starting at primary 10 and working inwards. The bird has drop four primaries, and the new feathers will start to grow before the rest follow. Where was the picture taken, a SEO in Lincs in July is a very good record.....

There are still a few SEO's lingering in Lincs, including 2 birds seen regularly at one site towards the end of June (not checked since yet). Possibly the large scale continental influx from last autumn has resulted in some remaining to oversummer or even as potential breeders.

The Bird Club was formed in 1979, to encourage and further an interest in the bird life, birding and birdwatching of the historic county of Lincolnshire, to collect and publish information on bird movements and bird populations, bird taxonomy, bird status, to encourage conservation of the wildlife of the county of Lincolnshire and to provide sound information on which bird conservation policies can be based.

Joining the Bird Club is a great way to make new birdwatching friends and contacts in Lincolnshire! If you are a "beginner", but keen to become actively involved in birding, you will find that learning about your county's wild birds - how, when and where to see them - is both easier and more enjoyable when undertaken in the company of our local enthusiasts. If you're already an active birdwatcher you can add another dimension to your birding by becoming involved in our varied local activities.
