The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Hi

We are in the process of writing the systematic list for the 2000-02 Rare and Scarce Lincs Bird Report, and have found the following records for which there seem to be no supporting details at the moment. If anyone recognises any of these as their own, or knows something about them, please get in touch with me, preferably by PM.

Thanks,

Paul French, with Steve Keightley.

Thanks for that Andy. At least that clears that one up!!

the 2000 PGP was at Brough Haven on the other side of the Humber ie YORKshire

I had not realised that the 2002 PGP (s) had not been submitted to BBRC---Did Ian Shepherd find them? I have photos of one bird

the 2002 list unfortunately shows the wisdom in copying ad hoc all that is published on web sites and rung in to birdlines!
