Post subject:  24 hour birding marathon 21st june

I have planned to do a 24 hour birding trip around north lincs on my bike for a few months now. never actually got round to doing it so I have finnaly set a date on the longest day of the the year june 21st. I want to try top my bird species seen in a single day (87 November 13th 2010) so far i have targeted 78 species and I feel I have been very harsh on myself as I haven't included species like Terns, only 4 waders on my list.

I'm not going to bore you all with the list but suggestions of sites would be great. I already have some sites in mind. I am willing to go as far north as Grimsby and as far south as Donna nook as far west as I don't know. Once have drawn up my timings and list of sites i will then post it on this same thread and you can feel free to check on my succes. If anybody wants the list of the 78 targeted species I can send them in a personnal message and if people would like to add to that list it would be very gratefull.

Any form of help will be extremely gratefull

Many Thanks Anthony

Planned out my outlined route. I'm starting in Bradly were I will search surronding woodland for owls. I will stay there till dawn when i will go find smaller bird species. Then head for Cleethorpes hitting some other areas of interest. From cleethorpes pier I will walk to Donna Nook or Pyes Hall depending on times. then shoot off to Covenham resevoir, Then the lakes around North Thorsby after this I will bike around my loacal villages, ticking off those little extras. If anybody knows of some good sites inbetween these that would be extremly greatfull. I especially need help on owls. Just send me a PM and I shall reply.

Many thanks Anthony
