Up early this morning to go to Gib Point - heard a Turtle Dove calling near the Church area from my garden at 0530 hrs!

After Gib Point, did my TTV of TF25J. Highlights:
6 Swallows
3 Chiffchaff
2 male Blackcap

No Little Egret seen this morning before work on Dogdyke Road so progressed up to Scrub Hill:
8 Canadian Geese
6 Greylag Geese
1 Canada X Greylag Goose
4 Tree Sparrows
1 Lapwing

Called in at Coningsby Sewage Works (might have been some wagtails about):
10 Greylag Geese in the field (suspect due to proximity of Tattershall Lakes & Park over the River Bain they are from there)
2 Mistle Thrush
Yellowhammer pair
Another Lapwing.
