I've been 'out of town' for a few days but here's an update on what has been seen at Whisby. Last Nightingale survey undertaken last Friday located 6 singing males. As noted by others, Coot Lake remains the main spot (5 singing males). Common Tern - 3 birds returned on the 25th. Now daily. Turtle Dove - first bird returned on the 25th. Garden Warbler - first bird returned on the 25th. Now daily. Hobby - after last weeks early bird on the 21st single bird(s) daily from the 25th. Regards Grahame |

I'm just back from my weekly Nightingale survey at Whisby, and was keen to get a survey in before the colder temperatures promised for the weekend, which will have an impact on activity. Tonight was absolutely ideal with light winds and a pleasant warm evening. It was a very productive time with 'quadraphonic' Nightingales singing on all four sides! The results were 7 singing around Coot/West Lakes and 2 singing around Teal Lake, giving a total of 9 singing birds so far this year. Regards Grahame |

What is the best time to hear the Nightingales? If I can get back to the railway station at Lincoln before the last connections, I might make the trip... would any one of you be willing to meet me? |
