The Lincolnshire Bird Club

Barry Clarkson phoned me this morning to say he'd found a Red breasted Flycatcher in the elders on the old sea bank next to my garden at Stonebridge Cottage North. Needless to say by the time I got there on my bike at 2 looking for a green tick it had gone but several other birders saw it. There were lots of flycatchers around between Stonebridge and Pyes, up to 10 Spotted Flys, 5 Pied Flys, 5 Redstart, 3 Whinchats and 2 Firecrests showing well in the west hedge at Pyes.

Also flushed a Quail on my bike on the bridleway next to the windfarm at Conisholme, which was a green tick!

After seeing you Phil, we made the long trudge to the south end of Donna Nook.
Had 9 Wheatears - 7 were sat together on one large piece of driftwood.
1 Whinchat
3 Redstarts, including a cracking male, sat on a fence.
2 Spotted Flycatchers
