Saw what I believe to be 30 - 40 Whoopers in a field on the east side of Louth Canal and between Thoresby Bridge and New Delights in a field, couldn't stop because no where to park and too much traffic on the narrow winding road. Maybe if someone lives in that area they could check it out.

An excellent day out even though we had rain, sleet, hail, sun and wind plus a double rainbow!

Cheers

Max

PS: all birds were seen without getting out the car
