Started with a seawatch at Mablethorpe, the forecast 5 to 6 NW did not materialise with the winds being only 2:-
6 Whooper Swans and 1 1st year Gannet flying S were the only notables.

Grainthorpe Haven gave us a great raptor spectacle with:-
1 juv Marsh Harrier
1 ringtail Hen Harrier
1 adult Rough-legged Buzzard
1 Sparrowhawk
1 Kestrel
1 Peregrine
1 Merlin
at one stage both Harriers, R-l Buzzard and Merlin were all visible at once along with a Short-eared Owl
also seen:-
27 Pink-footed Geese (16 S & 11 N)
c15 Little Egrets
1 very brief flight view of what I am convinced was a Great White Egret
1 Kingfisher
1 Hooded Crow

Covenham reservoir
1 Long-tailed Duck
2 Goldeneye
